- Amazing experience. The setting was great, as we could fully enjoy the candlelight atmosphere in a very old looking room. The quatuor was so good. They were entertaining, engaging with the audience and their work was mesmerising.
- Wonderful hour of culture and talent. What a credit to Hans Zimmer. I loved it enough to go to 2 sessions in the one evening!!! The Aula Maxima was so impressive - I’d go back tomorrow and every other day. Really loved it!
- Wonderful experience, we will be back for another one soon.
