>Saturday morning treat – #649

Living in Mainz can be really quite cool.

In the run-up to Christmas, the cathedral hosts a series of midday concerts each Saturday – 30 minutes of choral and organ music, interspersed with prayer, mediation and readings.

And tonight there’s a free concert at 5pm – “Paulus” von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy with soloists, choir and orchestra.

Keeps pensioners from hanging about on street corners, that’s for sure….

>Sounds wonderful! I’ll be right in there with the seniors — I love choral and symphony concerts in churches! Church acoustics are usually fantastic.
