- Took my nana to the candlelight Christmas nutcracker as an early Christmas present! It was such a special evening that I know we both will never forget about ❤️ We are both already looking forward to next years.
- A beautiful ambiance with a good mix of family-favourite Christmas songs and seasonal classics
- We really enjoyed this concert,. The musicians and the vocalist were top class and the whole experience was just lovely - a lovely outing for Christmastime!
- It was great! I'm glad the seating was distanced and I felt safe and could really fully enjoy the wonderful music.
- Absolutely amazing and mesmerizing 11 out of 10 !!! So worth it ! Thank you to the quartet for sharing yoyr talent and the holidays 😍
- Phenomenal! The Despax quartet playing was a joy to watch!!!

- It's a mesmerizing experience. Beautiful sounds in a unique setting. Love it!
- Really wonderful performance! We got seats in the A section, which was worth every penny. It was amazing to watch the musicians handwork. Wonderful mix of classical works and Christmas and nutcracker hits. The acoustics were great in the church. The candles are sadly the fake LED plastic kind, which I dislike, but I guess it makes sense. Hundreds of real candles would be super dangerous. All in all we really really loved it.
- Excellent experience. Beautiful music and wonderful atmosphere
- Really lovely. The soloist was exceptional.
- Beautiful- what the soul needs this time of year
- Truly amazing love it
