Variations on Listening is a multiple component music program created with the incentive to focus on different forms of experiencing sound at Lumbardhi, particularly within the restrictions that the pandemic of 2020 imposed.
Variations on Listening started in August 2020, as an alternative and improvised music program among the rigorous pandemic measures, creating the possibility of using sounds in the formation of silence, playlists curated by musicians from different cultures around the world and projections of concerts and musical documentaries on the big screen at Kino Bahçe. In 2021 the program returned with some similar components of the previous edition, such as the quiet hours of the morning, projections of various music recordings. Due to the improved conditions and the ease of pandemic restrictions, the program brought performances at dusk by various local musicians and concerts by Kosovar musicians who launched albums prepared during the pandemic.
