The capacity is approximately 300 people (all reserved seats, lottery-based), and admission is free. Applications are accepted by return postcard, fax, or via the application form on the website. If applicants exceed capacity, a lottery will be held and results will be notified at a later date. It will be a precious opportunity to spend an enriching time through the power of music.
