- Fantastic evening with a great composition of Hisaishi's work put together by Graeme Press. Also enjoyed Graeme's jokes and commentary. The philharmonic orchestra members brought a lot of depth to this classic music. Brisbane City Hall looks has an amazing feel with the candles.
- Enchanting. Graeme Press and the Brisbane Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra played beautifully amongst the soft glow of candlelight and historic architecture to a mesmerised and thoroughly entertained audience.
- This was SPECTACULAR. I was already a Ghibli fan going in, but Graham and the orchestra brought the magic of my childhood soundtrack to life in a note-perfect performance surrounding by some of the most beautiful ambience I’ve ever seen at a live music show. Without exaggeration, this was the most magic I’ve felt from a performance in quite some time, and is a top memory I doubt will be surpassed anytime soon. Thank you to everyone involved.
- Beautiful setting to match beautiful music. The music brought back fond memories of the corresponding scenes from the movies they featured in. Worth seeing if you're a fan of Studio Ghibli & Hayao Miyazake's work.

- I am a Japanese student and I went to see this concert because I love Ghibli films and the music of Joe Hisaishi. I am glad that I was able to listen to my favourite music in my study country. The atmosphere at the venue was great.
