  • Pianist was passionate about the work and the church was stunning.
  • I enjoyed every piece of it, very relaxing, sublim 🥰
  • Great performance!
  • Good musical both, nice venue, pianist was great. Could have done with turning the lights down a bit for ambiance - it wasn’t really a “candlelight” experience.
  • A beautiful concert - it just would have been nice for the pianist to introduce the pieces being played and give a bit of background about them!
