Brilliant experience. The music played was excellent, great musicians. The ambience in the Cathedral was so relaxing and beautiful. I will definitely check the other candlelight concerts.

Truly lovely experience. My only gripe, if there is one, is allowing people to take photos and videos during the final song. The older clientele have no idea about turning a flash off for a photo, or having a torch blaring for a video and it ruins the whole atmosphere you've built up.
