Sacred Sonic

LIVE MUSIC AND LIGHTING AT THE CATHEDRAL. 

String quartet, organ and soprano.  

Angel Strings merge forces with the resident organist Dominic Perissinotto and soprano Eva-Marie Perissinotto at St Stephen's Cathedral to create a sensual feast.  

The majestic walls are bathed in stunning light in response to stirring music by John Taverner, Elgar, Ravel, Philip Glass, Max Richter, Sigur Ros and Hans Zimmer.   

The unique 150 year old setting features towering gothic arches, striking stained-glass windows, and stunning acoustics.

Coupled with the power of the pipe organ (2448 pipes!) and the lush tones of live strings and soprano, the immersive experience is nothing short of transcendent.

This is an event for classical music lovers, non-classical music lovers and lovers of colour and space.
