“In truth, one might have believed oneself to be in heaven, yes, among the heavenly choirs.” – This is how an eyewitness described the solemn consecration of the cathedral almost 400 years ago.
This experience is brought back to life in the concert series “Heavenly Sounds – musica coelestis,” when Advent music from galleries, balconies, and the dome fills the cathedral with a special atmosphere and, for a few moments, makes it possible to feel how heaven and earth meet.
