My son and I had a blast! Amazing performances by the orchestra!

It was so well done! Even those you don't typically enjoy classical or symphony music would love it. Such a great experience!!!

Hauntingly Beautiful!

It was such a lovely evening ! I loved the atmosphere. Cozy, comfortable, amazing! The musicians were exceptional, the length of an hour is perfect, and the prices were reasonable for the event ! overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend!

Excellent evening! Refreshing! so much talent! Very enjoyable! Thankyou!

It was a wonderful experience. I particularly enjoyed the finale rendition of Greig's "Hall of the Mountain King" which has been a favorite since childhood.
