The Church Marathon is a popular part of the festival. The tour takes you past three characteristic Utrecht churches and traditionally offers mulled wine or hot chocolate and an oliebol during the breaks.

Start 18:00
This edition starts in Gasthuis Leeuwenbergh or the Nicolaïkerk, then changes location and ends together in the Geertekerk. In each church a beautiful chamber music program sounds that eventually culminates in a version of Messiaen’s moving  Quatuor pour la fin du temps  by a dream quartet with Janine Jansen and Martin Fröst.
