If you have not yet sampled music making in the Crypt Concert Room, how about trying out this concert called Paris Encore. The sound is a delight in this space and the Cathedral's Chamber Orchestra is on excellent form.  It is much enjoying the rehearsals for this light-hearted programme which features the leader, Leo Byrne, playing the well-known violin solo - Meditation from Thais, and ends with Bizet's gem, the Symphony in C, which contains some wonderful tunes for wind players. There are always interval refreshments.  Glasses of wine seem to be the most popular choice.
