MARMELI: CONCERT + ÁGORA TALK
ABOUT THE EVENT
MARMELI is the joint project of Broadway star Mel Semé and acclaimed pianist and composer Marta Cascales. As a married couple, they create experiences that bring together love, music, and human connection—offering retreats for couples and singles, intimate concerts, and DJ sets designed to uplift and energize.
Their mission is to create spaces where people can explore conscious, healthy relationships and share openly from the heart.
Lighting Society presents a unique format inspired by the Ágora of Ancient Greece—a public gathering place where people came together to exchange ideas, debate, and connect across all aspects of life. Reimagining this spirit, MARMELI creates a modern Ágora: a welcoming and safe space to reflect on relationships, engage in meaningful conversation, and connect with others.
We invite you to join us for this beautiful evening; doors will open at 6:30 PM, with the event beginning at 7:00 PM. This immersive experience is paired with a live performance by the artists, creating a powerful cultural moment that opens hearts, deepens connection, and inspires shared joy. It will also offer an opportunity to learn more about their upcoming MARMELI Retreat.
