This was an amazing show. The Avoca string quartet were a pleasure to hear and the venue provided a grand setting for Hisaishi's masterpieces.

Absolutely incredible experience with the beautiful music and candles! Would definitely recommend to anyone and will 100% be going back again for some of the other shows under the same theme. The one small problem I would have was the staff talking at the back throughout the performance. This I found to be very rude to both the performers and the patrons.

An absolutely surreal experience. I knew what I expected, it was what I expected and somehow I was still surprised. Couldn't recommend more. Amazing.

It was a very personal and intimate experience - a smaller audience, some playful light-hearted banter between the audience and orchestra, and inspiring music all made for a wonderful evening.
