Classical concerts in St. George Basilica from the 10th century are not to be missed.

Come to a chamber classical music concert combining pleasure of beautiful music with special atmosphere of Romanesque architecture - pure and meditative.

It's a nice venue with good acoustics, but when you cannot really see the orchestra, there is too much of a disconnect. This could have been helped, with an introduction or addressing of the audience, but this did not happen.

Such a privilege to be able to listen to the concert at the venue. The acoustics were absolutely stunning and made the event.

They ran out of blankets. The lady on the front door was crabby.

The church was beautiful. It was extremely cold and we weren't allowed inside until right before the performance even though we were given instructions to get there early.

We liked the ambiance of the church. Wish the performers were a little closer so we could watch them play.
