What people say

Thank you for a beautiful concert last night. My parents and I had a wonderful time. The Duruflé was the highlight of course, absolutely mind-blowing! It felt like we were right in the middle of the music. But the whole concert was delightful from start to finish. The atmospheric opening with its rich harmonies set the tone for the evening, and Howells’ Requiem was the perfect vocal match to Barber’s Adagio for Strings.
