A wonderful evening. The musicians were fantastic, very talented. The ballerinas were lovely floating across the stage. One hour was a perfect length to appreciate their expertise and enjoy the whole concert. The candlelight made the night spectacular.

Ballet dancers should have used lighter costumes especially the fan. Other than that it was amazing. The quartet were a delight. The ambience of candle light made it magical. would go again in a heart beat.

Great to bring my 6 year old granddaughter and 10 year old friend...who were much better behaved than those people who rustled sweets and chips...why can't you control this behaviour!!!

The ambience, muscicians and the 2 ballarinas were a treat. i enjoyed myself. Please try to have these concerts during the day as well as the candles + ambience can be recreated. Please also have these in western suburbs so that we do not have to travel so far to watch these.

It was wonderful, only criticism is that the candles in front hid the ballerinas' feet! I wanted to see their feet. My 3 companions agreed, as footwork is a large part of Ballet.
