- Maribel L.Dec 2021Absolutely love it! The music, the acoustic, the soprano's voice and the ambiance. Very well organized and all covid-19 measures respect.
- Doris T.Dec 2021It was fantastic. Amazing musicians, wonderful music, beautiful surroundings. Would rate it 5 except that we couldn't hear the MC.
- Desiree R.Dec 2021Beautifully talented musicians and playlist however, the sound could have been improved with microphones to enhance the experience (particularly the speaking parts which could not be heard even within Zone A and B).
- Melissa O.Dec 2021It was very lovely! Being on the balcony was nice (second row), got a great over view of the stage without our view being blocked by other people. The music was beautiful. Very nice lighting. Lovely. The voice of the pianist was too quiet for us to hear what they were saying about forthcoming pieces, so we didn't get the meanings of about a third of the pieces played.
- Rahim P.Jan 2023Amazing
- Erin M.Dec 2022The talent was fantastic! Very intimate and relaxing setting to enjoy some great music.
