Performers

- I’m in awe 🫢 both the music and the ballet were an incredible experience which introduced a whole new layer of depth and beauty for me and my partner that evenings. Will definitely visit again! Thank you!
- Beautiful performance by both the musicians and the dancers. Was my first concert and I was not disappointed. Will definitely be back for more! Thanks to the staff and performers!
- What a romantic setting. Cathedral couldn’t be a better venue. And the length of time too. Just perfect
- The string quartet was very good, as were the two ballerinas. The venue was gorgeous, including sound, but the pole in my way blocked my view of two of the quartet members. Next time I’ll know which section to buy tickets in.
- Very talented musicians and dancers, beautiful setting and acoustics. Would absolutely go again. Only complaint was the hard seats.
- Absolutely beautiful!!! Incredible musicians and ballet!!
- Was lovely, wish the ballet dancers were higher up, so could see their feet :)
