You could hear and see the audience in awe of such beautiful and emotional performances. Absolutely worth seeing it!! Only negative point for me was that it was a Saturday in Covent Garden, so you could hear the crowds and street performers outside the church. But as soon as they started playing another song, you'd be so immersed, you'd forget about the outside noise.
Classical music concert by candelight , 4 musicians playing on violins and cello, great atmosphere and setting, relaxing, beautiful story -telling with music. Great show.
Enchanting evening with a wonderful atmosphere.
