Orchestral concert in St Nicholas Church

One of those true tourist days part 2A - Saturday evening I finished my day attending a musical concert in the St Nicholas Church on the Old Town Square. Now in comparison to the Krakow Philharmonic they weren't great, but the acoustics were so good that the 8 piece group sounded pretty good. In fact when they dropped back to 5 pieces - 1st & 2nd violin, viola, cello and bass they sounded even better - the other three pieces were two extra violins and a baroque violin (looked and was played like a mandolin but had guitar like qualities). They played Handel, Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart. 8 pieces in all. The atmosphere of the guilded church and painted cupola full of angles certainly helped the impact!
