User reviews
- Such an amazing and beautiful experience. They did such an amazing time for their first time playing this genre. I’m so glad I got to see and experience it
- Extremely talented quartet. I will definitely see them again.
- Show was amazing!
- That’s was a great show. Looking for many more
- This was my second time going to the candlelight experience. I attended the Bridgerton experience in November. The music was amazing. My only complaint this time was the lead violinists’ attire. Yes it was NeoSoul but in my opinion and others I heard whispering about it, a sports bra/ crop top with all of your abs showing isn’t appropriate for the level of classiness that comes with listening to classical instruments no matter what genre is being played. Again, every artist was amazing!!! I could hear each instrument clearly. Every solo was superb! The cello player deserves his flowers!!!! ❤️ I’m definitely looking forward to the next event. I think your marketing team will be well pleased with the turnout if they have more options in similar genres (neosoul, r&b, blues etc.)
- One of my favorite concerts I've ever been to! Metropolis String Quartet absolutely killed it. Sold out crowd, great energy and the music sounded absolutely beautiful.
- I gracefully enjoyed the show!
