    I attended the 90s hip hop on strings edition of the show. The musicians are extremely talented and rendered beautifully curated medleys of the artistes featured. They were engaging and definitely created a fun and upbeat vibe that was personal and intimate even though there were a lot of people there. They gave insight into little known facts about the music and musicians featured and allowed audiences participation while performing. Definitely a must attend!

    Beautiful and intimate experience—from musicians sharing background on the composer and what to expect in each movement to their willingness to chat post-show. Highly recommend arriving when doors open - we were in the first row which was magical. This is a great way to enjoy a string quartet outside a more formal setting. Cheering was encouraged throughout the concert which furthered the casual and fun vibe. Finally, it’s super affordable. Excited to see this concept growing - creating an approachable, affordable and accessible way for people to take part in a chamber experience. Bravo!

    This experience was beyond music. The musicians had a great time and humored us in between the melodies. A time was had and would definitely go again. They allowed us to sing along and take videos without flash. I will say, I wish the music was a little louder (speakers).

    We had the best time. One of the most unique experiences we've had in a long time. The orchestra members we amazing. They interacted well with the crowd to keep the energy high. Definitely will go again.

    Disaster. Last thing that I would have wanted to do was leave a bad review on an event attached to a church setting, but here we are unfortunately. In November, I purchase 11 tickets to attend one of the candlelight symphonies in December. This was an experience that I have wanted to attend for a very long time and thought this would be a perfect outing for my birthday. I gathered friends to attend, and we all met nearby at an Airbnb (we live far in various directions) I rented with the expectation of a beautiful experience to start our evening. Although we did not ride together, three of us were inside the lobby while the remaining of us were parking. I could literally see the front door in front of the space I chose to park in. It was all of 8:32 PM with the event to start at 8:45. I received a call from one of the ladies inside, who was upset, saying that staff had refused to let them in. They were told there were “no more seats available”. How?! Our tickets had been purchased a whole month in advance. Staff was adamant that we would not be able to enter. Upon leaving, we were advised outside by security who stopped to chat with us; he agreed this was not cool and said that he believes that the event was oversold. Obviously this was over $500 worth of tickets. My group was very much disappointed and it definitely put a damper on my sense of accomplishment as I had purchased all of the tickets together. Now I am in a refund dispute, that took over a month to receive a response on, and they are unwilling to refund or reschedule our opportunity. Time & money wasted.

    Great experience! The event was well organized, and the venue was beautiful. Those who greeted us were friendly and very accommodating. The musicians played very well and were quite the comedians LOL. Crowd participation made the event interactive and it was fun to connect with others through our love of music.
