- Great experience, beautiful music and friendly artists, highly recommend
- Loved it, just beautiful. Highly recommend.
- Beautiful set up Absolutely mesmerizing!!! Excellet performance Speechless!
- Lovely string quartet playing all my film favourites. Very atmospheric and fun.
- Awesome- thanks
- Awesome playing by all the musicians and great, dreamy choice of music! Those "candles" give a magical ambience to the whole experience. I enjoyed it a lot and wish Ben and his group the very best - lovely and talented musicians, all four of them. (The only slightly tedious thing was having to wait outside in the cold. Suggest letting attendees know that the NGA main entrance remains locked after 5pm until a bit before the show -, so they don't turn up too early like we did :)
