Venue
For this anticipated debut, the team have found a truly unique and special venue: it’s a beautiful chapel from the 18th Century with tons of history and a real sense of atmosphere and extra spirituality that will add to the world class soundtrack. It will be a magical place in which to get lost in the music, and has a limited capacity so the whole event feels personal and intimate.
