Each spring, the town of Trenčín fills its halls and churches with classical music for the series known as Music Under the Castle. Chamber ensembles and soloists play across a run of public concerts, in a celebration kept alive by the town's club of classical music lovers beneath the old hilltop castle.

Media proof note

The Music Under the Castle record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
