Vivaldi Four Seasons
It was absolutely fantastic, also loved the extras at the end. The only improvement would be making it clearer to people to not record until the designated section at the end. The voice that gave that instruction seemed a little muffled and I think most of the people in my row must have missed it. They were very distracting. Also people rustling their plastic snack bags was very distracting. Obviously not the organisers issue but was very annoying. Otherwise, so wonderful

Best of Aretha Franklin
Please include an acknowledgement of country before you start your performances!! Also a lot of Aretha Franklin’s songs contain backing vocals, and although the main singer was great, I think the songs didn’t reach their full potential without backing vocals. Also would have been great to see some black artists representing a black musician.

The performance and venue was spectacular. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was only one person at the door scanning the codes so it took quite a while to get into the venue which was the only slight issue from the night. Perhaps more staff on the door to direct people and scan codes would be great. But all in all a magical experience I would definitely recommend to people and I would love to go again.

It was a long queue waiting outside of the Cathedral for the opening hour when suddenly started the wind and next heavy rain, in 5 minutes everyone was wet. They should use a few criteria related to the situation and let people wait inside doing the same queue in the aisle of the Cathedral instead of being outside getting wet because it was enough space for everyone.

Its awesome concert!There is a very small proposal, it is recommended that the chairs between each line a little apart, because the front of the people often block the line of sight, affecting the experience, a little apart then you can see some of the stage through the gap.

The concert was great, musician very talented and I really enjoyed myself. This was held at the botanical Gardens after hours and the address given for the event was for the main entry gate. That was however closes and we had to walk quite a distance. There were NO signs where to go and where to enter.

But when they played their encore piece - a spectacular arrangement of Waltzing Matilda - it brought tears to my eyes AND my husband’s. And with all of this set within the soft glow of hundreds of candles in the beautiful historic town hall… it all added up to a wonderfully lovely night to remember.

Government House Ballroom is a stunning venue for this type of performance. The music and the musicians were brilliant. Totally engaging. A joyous evening.

Bar staff were random and hectic. Thought it was a bit weird that wine was already pre-poured and actual quantity was less than usual volume.

It was such a beautiful performance. Close your eyes, listen and focus to the beautiful music, and make yourself immersed in the tune. It would work like relaxation therapy. I attended it just by myself after work, and it's a very relaxing night! Would recommend. 🙂 Just hoping that there would be more candles being placed around the seating area.

Love the artist and his performance but the audiences are horrible, filming in the beginning and non-stop talking during the performance. None of the staff members stop them and no announcements in between the shows to remind people of being quiet and no filming. Ruined my whole experience, disappointed.

The drum kit was a bit of a shame!!! The small ensemble was too delicate to blend with the drumkit. Apart from one of the musicians getting sick and leaving the stage, the strings were lovely, and all hats off to the girl who took over from the one who left. The tunes without the accompanying drums were beautiful. The setting, with all of the candles, was lovely.

Absolutely stunning! Never been inside Wesley Church but it was really enchanting. The main host was really fun, almost too talkative but his experience within his field and the story behind himself as well as his fellow peers made it feel more personal and down to earth. His love for the songs played shone through both his stories and his playing. I had my doubts since I thought piano was such a core part of Joe Hisaishi's music, but they made it sound so beautiful! I hope for a longer one!
