Review of Hey Presto! Family Concert - Manchester Edition

I may be a little outside the target age range for this but I still loved the enthusiastic, inclusive presentation of the musical journey for children with lively, expert playing of the vast array of instruments they have. Brilliant!

I enjoyed that; would have liked more time for questions/comments, though.

An Incredible Musical Experience

This was an amazing concert. The program was inspired and the four pieces were beautifully complimentary. The pieces showcased superbly the gifted artistry of the instrumentalists and the soloist. The highlight was Jonathan Woolgar's world premiere of 'Star Songs' a piece commissioned by Khymerical. This gifted composer's talents were vividly on display and captivated the listener's ear and imagination within three wonderfully distinctive movements. The way the instruments and the voice were in constant interplay with each other was a masterful piece of composition and the players and soloist certainly made this possible in their delivery. An outstanding experience all-round so congratulations to everyone.
