ROME will be rewilding the sacred in hallowed spaces and special venues across Europe in the spring of 2027.
A unique concert experience awaits: ROME and OF THE WAND AND THE MOON set out on an exclusive European tour through churches, chapels, cloisters, castles, and other historic sites – from London to Milan, from Prague to Krakow, from Berlin to Rome.
As demonstrated in its vast back-catalogue of concept albums, Luxembourg's ROME as an artistic entity has always been interested in matters of History, philosophy, spiritual quest, and faith. ROME has studied existential and historical conflicts, but also expressed the sacred through various lenses. It is this complex intersection of profound spiritual expression, personal struggle and the transcendent, that ROME has navigated since its inception. As a project deeply connected with our common European heritage, it is an almost inevitable enterprise to bring this work to places of worship around Europe.
ROME, the musical project of Jerome Reuter, presents an exclusive solo set comprised of material from the latest twin albums “The Tower” and “The Hierophant”, alongside a selection of early works rarely or never performed live. Stripped to their rawest essentials, these songs present a radically minimalist folk approach – a spiritual travelogue of magical splendour, introspective longing, and the timeless tension between faith and doubt, tailored perfectly to the unique settings of this tour.
Opening the evening is an exclusive solo performance by Kim Larsen as OF THE WAND AND THE MOON. Known for his distinctive world of melancholy, intimacy, and twilight, Larsen has increasingly drawn on the influence of singer-songwriters of the 1960s and 1970s, including Lee Hazlewood, Leonard Cohen, and Serge Gainsbourg. His exclusive set will offer a broad cross-section of his artistic periods.
Join us in song in Europe’s houses of the Holy.
