Cello Concerts 15th Anniversary - Sat. 15 Sept 2012 - 4pm

185 Concerts since Sept 1997 - the world's longest series of cello concerts in history! From Bach to sounds invented for the Cave.
The Cathedral Chamber is not only stunningly beautiful
& features also the world's clearest acoustics

The Concert Venue

Why would you go into a Cave for Concerts?

The Cathedral Chamber is famous for its perfect acoustics (the world's purest) and is also stunningly beautiful.

Don't miss the opportunity to visit a concert.
This particular acoustics has an extraordinary and unforgettable impact.
The 10 min walk into this cave is truly worth it.

Inside the Cave is total silence - no noise of cars and plains, no airconditioning hums, no door noises,
not even the sound of wind.

Be transported back - just for an hour - into a much simpler and purer world (mobile phones don't work here) - forgetting all the stress of the outer world - sharing the unamplified sound of pure music - healing for our soul.

In difference to most concert halls,
the distance to the performer is only 3-12 meters.

It never rains in the Cave, if hot or cold outside,
inside the Cave it's always 15 Degrees
No weather forecast is necessary to plan visiting a Concert in the Cave.

(the access to the Cathedral Chamber includes some flights of stairs -
bring a light jumper)
