  I am very disappointed that this concert is fully booked as I only received the email informing me of the concert this morning, and despite being on the mailing list for years I received no brochure giving me priority booking.
  
  If there are any cancellationsor returned tickets please let me know.
  
  Thank you
  Diane Stiles

  Oh what a splendid evening at St Pauls Church Knightsbridge.14thFeb.
  We arrived at 7pm for 7.30 and although the church was full, managed
  to get seats directly opposite the pianists, with direct vision!..
  
  The BBC Symphony Choir were just unbelievably brilliant; the conductor
  a vision and joy to behold. Pianists superb!..everyone was so happy,
  enjoying their music, as we all were. Thank you so so much. Vanessa Baldwin.(oh I just happen to live near the church as well!) extra bonus.

  I enjoyed this concert, although much of it seemed to be "easy listening". The climax of the show from my point of view was the Cantique de Cantiques by Daniel-Lesur, and the second half seemed to go off the boil. I found the Brahms mediocre and uninspiring, but that was the music, rather than the performance.
