Lots of audience were humming along and it felt like they would love to stand up and dance but no one got up...... it would be great that if the audience were invited to do so while they were permitted to take photos and video at the last rwo songs......

Great program. Our first candlelight concert. We were a bit surprised the candles weren’t surrounding the musicians as we saw in advertising. But, we guess they need to be able to walk to their seats safely. That is our only disappointment. Loved it otherwise.
