Why going into the Cathedral Chamber for Concerts?

This particular Chamber is famous for its perfect acoustics (the world's clearest and purest) and is also stunningly beautiful.
If you have friends interested in sound or music and happen to be in the larger area of Sydney / NSW, 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 trly 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) - sharing the unamplified sound of the cello or fiery Gypsy Music.

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 is c 10 min. and includes some flights of stairs - bring a light jumper)
