St Machar’s Cathedral hosted a magical candlelit evening of Hans Zimmer music played by the Grampian String Quartet.

For over an hour the audience enjoyed a breathtaking and multi sensory performance in candle light at St Machar’s Cathedral. St Machar’s Cathedral is one of the oldest buildings in Aberdeen and made a stunning venue for this concert.

The concert was performed by the Grampian String Quartet who brought to life the songs of Hans Zimmer such as Time from Inception, This Land from The Lion King and Zooster’s Breakout from Madagascar.
