- Thank you for your efforts! Lovely to hear live music again,
- Loved it! Beautiful music and charming musicians!
- IT WAS SOO MAGICAL
- Beautiful performance in an intimate setting.
- it was all Joe Hisaishi music and it reminded me of my childhood, when i had been raised being surrounded by Ghibli worlds.
- incredible - do harry potter please
- It was a great concert!
- The performance was lovely. Minor improvements could have been made by dimming the theatre lights more to better complement the candle ambiance. Also, because the theatre was very small and intimate, having different categories of seating and prices was a bit pointless.
- The performance was excellent. My one piece of feedback is the concert should be longer to incorporate more Studio Ghibli songs. I would be more than happy for them to have an intermission and pay more if it meant they would play more songs as I felt certain significant pieces were not played.
- simply enchanting!
- Amazing!
