INNER LIGHT
,,A journey through music, light and visual art, inspired by the light within the heart"
What is INNER LIGHT?
INNER LIGHT is an immersive piano concert featuring original compositions by pianist and composer Swetlana Annatoli. Through expressive piano music, atmospheric lighting and carefully selected visuals, the concert invites audiences into a peaceful atmosphere of warmth, light and inner stillness.
Rather than introducing or explaining each piece, the music is allowed to speak for itself, creating space for reflection and personal experience.
Duration: Approximately 1 hour (without intermission)
About the Artist
Swetlana Annatoli is a professional pianist and composer whose musical journey has been shaped by curiosity, openness and a deep love for music.
Throughout her career, she has performed on international stages and collaborated in a wide range of artistic projects, including concert performances, recording productions and television appearances. She also contributed to a limited-edition Steinway & Sons recording that features performances by renowned pianists, including Martha Argerich.
These diverse experiences enriched her artistic journey while gradually leading her toward her own musical language. What began as free improvisation developed into her own distinctive musical voice, eventually finding its expression in NNERE STIMME —an album featuring exclusively her original piano compositions.
With INNER LIGHT, Swetlana Annatoli brings her original music to the stage in a distinctive concert format that combines piano music, light and visual art.

"Your music touched me deeply. I felt peaceful and calm as it continued to resonate within me."
"These compositions can be felt in the heart, far beyond the mind."
"Your music is enchanting and beautiful. It touches my heart so deeply that it brings tears to my eyes."

Our Story:
(photo above by Corey Katz)
Cape Breton contractor and entrepreneur, Kevin Colford, purchased the historic former Sacred Heart Church in 2018 with a dream of turning it into a jaw dropping multi-functional venue for celebration, entertainment, and hospitality. Fast forward to 2021, and he’s ready to do just that. Named Sacred Heart Downtown as a tribute to the rich history of the former parish, and the community that birthed and cared for the building for over a century.
Preserving the 140 year old 19th century architecture and applying some aesthetic upgrades, the ballroom is a royal space available to weddings, dinners, dances, live music & entertainment, corporate functions, dinner theatre, and functions of all kinds. Its purpose limited only by the occupants imagination.
The guiding philosophy of Sacred Heart? A passion for care. Whether you are headlining, working, or attending one of our events, we are here to take care of you. Every inch of our space has been reimagined to intuitively meet the largest and smallest needs of any occasion. From the industry standard prep room for our caterers, to the private bathroom reserved for the bride on her special day, to the phone charging stations at our coat check, we’ve thought of it all so you don’t have to.
In the short time we’ve been open, Sacred Heart Downtown has had the pleasure of hosting weddings, receptions, a sold out dinner theatre, and the 2021 ECMA’s, to name a few.
Located in Downtown Sydney, Nova Scotia
217 George Street in Downtown Sydney on beautiful Cape Breton Island. Come for the event, stay for the everything else.
