- The music was so beautiful it actually brought me to tears. The venue was lovely and peaceful. I hope the group will do a Joe Hisaishi performance again soon.
- Amazing! The seats were great since it's a small venue. Short North Church is beautiful. As a ghibli fan since spirited sway came out, I absolutely loved being able to hear Joe Hisaishi's masterpieces played last night. Please do it again because I want to invite more friends who are also ghibli fans!
- Beautiful setting, incredible playing, perfect concert length (enough to feel satisfied but wanting more)
- Great performance. Also, Rachel did a great job.
- Wonderful, intimate experience with Joe Hisaishi's work player so beautifully.
- Great concert with fantastic musicianship and limited interruptions. Only wish it were longer! Worth it and more for the price
