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.

Such a beautiful experience, will definitely look into more of these events in future!

Super friendly staff, charismatic viola host, beautifully played adaptations

Absolutely brilliant experience, such a talented string quartet

A fantastic concert with brilliant musicians!

This was just so beautiful! My daughter now a young woman who arched these films growing up! Such a joy to hear these pieces played so exquisitely. Thank you so much x

The performers were incredible. Thank you.

Amazing experience, fully recommend 💚✨🌸

Amazing performance, will be back to see again

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.

It was really a wonderful and unique experience. Thank you.

A wonderful experience in a very nice venue with exceptional musicians! Will come back for another show for sure!

It was beautiful! The concert was mesmerising, I just wish it lasted longer!
