Excellent musicians! Awful uncomfortable temperature. No air conditioning or fans. Beautiful church. It just have been 25c in the church. Couldn't wait to leave.
Great, it is worth it; they put in enthusiasm, and this makes it sound better. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
A beautiful setting in which to enjoy glorious works by Vivaldi and Bach. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance and the lesser known but beautiful St Paul's Within the Walls Anglican church.
Nice location, gig very personal and top musician. The organization worked well, masterful contribution to the organ.
St. Paul's Within the Walls is a beautiful church. Before the start, we were able to enjoy the beautiful sculptures in the garden for a moment. Redeeming the ticket went smoothly. Precisely at 8:30 PM, the performance began. First, an organ performance which immediately took us into his interpretation of Bach. Then an ensemble begins, but it is only when the principal violinist Soichi Ichikawa plays with them that we enter another dimension. The music is stunning and so clear. Brilliant evening- exceptionally talented musicians We were so enchanted by the Vivaldi performance that we forgot we were in a beautiful church. So absorbed in the musical event. The intensity and love for music was played here. A well-deserved standing ovation. Soichi Ichikawa is realy an exceptionally talented musician.
The cathedral was absolutely beautiful. The musicians were outstanding. Highly recommend!
Beautiful concert ! Great musiciens in an amazing setting ! Started right on time which was also a plus 👍🎵ñ
A really fantastic experience even for those that are not generally classical music fans. The church iitself is spectacular. Starting with the solo organist, then to the ensemble. But when the main violinist comes out and joins in, the music is stunning and so clear @ worth every penny.. and we had front row seats...we'll worth the extra cost.
A sublime-looking church concert I listened to Vivaldi's Four Seasons in the front seat. Halfway through, the sound that reverberated through the church changed, and tears welled up
One of the best baroque concerts I've been to. Not a single off-note, very high level op professionalism, and beautiful music. I cannot express enough what an honor it was to hear such beautiful and famous music in real life. Thank you!!
