The acoustic of the Church is fantastic and the performance of the musicians was faboluous. The music pieces were also very nicely selected and the length of the program was just right. Although I could sit there listening to them for a couple of more hours, for sure. The church is really nice, modest, warm and welcoming, and at a very convenient location in the heart of the city.

The performers were excellent and the choice of musical pieces was also great. Dimming the lights would have added to the atmosphere but we would still highly recommend.

Set in the historic Capuchin Church, this 1-hour classical concert offers a stunning rendition of Mozart’s A Little Night Music, a lively and elegant piece known for its bright, dance-like rhythms that perfectly capture the charm of the Classical era.

Enjoy the lyrical beauty of Haydn’s Poco adagio, the reflective tones of Schubert’s Ave Maria, and Bruckner’s majestic Locus Iste, all brought to life by a talented ensemble.

Listen closely to the poignant Lacrimosa from his Requiem (KV 626), beautifully arranged for string quartet, as the church’s exceptional acoustics elevate every note and timbre, creating a deeply moving experience.

Admire the exquisite Baroque interiors of the Capuchin Church, illuminated by soft, ambient lighting, and adorned with stunning frescoes, intricate woodwork, and grand altars.

Did you know the Emperor Quartet ensemble is named after Haydn’s Emperor Quartet? They are celebrated for their seamless blend of technique and emotion, infusing each performance with fresh, dynamic energy.

The selection of music was very appealing, the four musicians were brilliant, and you could tell they were enjoying themselves as they played.

The Capuchin Church's simple, unassuming exterior gives way to an intricate interior, with soaring ceilings, detailed frescoes, and ornate altars that set the perfect tone for the concert ahead. Once a sanctuary for prayer and reflection, this 17th-century Baroque wonder now stands as a cherished venue for classical performances. The church's acoustics are perfectly tuned to amplify every tone, from the softest strings to the boldest brass, creating an immersive sound experience.

Mozart's timeless beauty

The concert opens with Mozart’s A Little Night Music (KV 525), a lively and spirited piece that captures the elegance and charm of the Classical era. This iconic work, with its upbeat rhythms and melodic beauty, transports you to the heart of Vienna, where Mozart’s genius flourishes. Next, you experience the deeply emotional Lacrimosa from his Requiem (KV 626), arranged for string quartet, a piece that captures the mournful beauty of loss and the human condition in its most profound form.

A rich tapestry of Classical composers

Following Mozart, you are treated to Haydn's Poco adagio (2nd movement) from the Emperor Quartet, a piece that radiates warmth and depth. This leads seamlessly into Schubert’s Ave Maria, a serene and spiritual work that evokes a sense of peace and reverence. The performance continues with Bruckner's Locus Iste, a choral masterpiece, before transitioning into Bach’s Air from Orchestral Suite No. 3, a tranquil and reflective piece that washes over you with its delicate beauty.
