Malte Marten Handpan Concert at Circus Building

Malte Marten Handpan Concert at the Circus Building is a sound healing concert for anyone who wants to slow down and listen. It is part of the Healing Frequencies Tour, on which handpan artist and composer Malte Marten plays with his trio. This stop takes place at Wallmans Cirkusbygningen, the old circus building in København V, Copenhagen, Denmark.

What to Expect

The handpan leads the evening. Malte Marten is joined by Conrado Molina on percussion and by multi-instrumentalist Bummela, and together they make a rich, spacious sound that feels intimate even in a large room. The handpan is a steel instrument played with the hands, with a warm tone full of overtones, a little like bells.

The concert runs about two hours and is shaped from beginning to end. The music, the silence between songs and the stories Malte shares are all part of one flowing experience. The intention is simple: no pressure, no rush, nowhere else to be, just music, presence and room to breathe. Most shows start at 8 pm, with doors usually opening 75 minutes earlier, and the exact times are shown on your ticket.

About Malte Marten

Malte Marten describes himself as a handpan player at his core, and as a musician, teacher and visionary. His path began in 2014, when he came across a video of the duo Hang Massive. He sold all the music equipment he owned as a beatmaker and DJ to buy his first handpan, and later played on the streets of Berlin.

From 2015 to 2020 he toured with his former duo, Yatao. Teaching became a passion alongside performing, and the duo gave workshops and retreats and co-founded the YataoShop, a place for people to take their first steps with the instrument. In 2021 the duo's project ended and Malte began his solo work, funding his first solo studio album through crowdfunding. His videos on Instagram and YouTube have since reached listeners around the world, and his music has found millions of people. His work rests on one idea: music can create space to slow down, breathe and reconnect with yourself.

The Setting

Wallmans Cirkusbygningen is the old circus building next to Tivoli, a few minutes from Copenhagen Central Station, which makes it easy to reach on foot from the main station.

Before You Go

All venues on the tour are seated, so you can settle in and simply listen. No experience with the handpan or with sound healing is needed. Child tickets are available for ages 12 and up, and wheelchair spaces can be arranged with the organizers when booking.

Malte has said that nothing replaces the feeling of hearing this music together in one room. Many people know it from falling asleep, working or meditating, and this evening offers the same quiet in a shared space.
