During the concert, the artists alternate in two places - upstairs near the organ and downstairs in front of the audience. The music thus sounds from different parts of the church and allows its extraordinary acoustics to stand out to the full. The unique floor plan of the sacral building with the dome located in the center of the space creates an impressive sound experience in which the music surrounds the listener from all sides.
