Lisa's Reviews

5 out of 5

Lisa was incredible, she was extremely receptive to all of our requests and played beautifully throughout our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. She sensed the vibe and went with the flow, our guests absolutely loved it! I’d certainly recommend Lisa to anyone wanting to add that special extra extravagance to their wedding or event, she set up and departed without fuss and kept constant contact with us throughout the planning process. Just AMAZING!

Lisa was amazing on special day. She showed up well in advance and played beautifully; the day wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Robertson’s work came very close to winning – and you could see why: the work was marked with the chromatic and discordant, with the whispered words softly sung. It too conjured up images of the precariousness of peace in a powerful way. Though for the first, this will certainly not be the last time that we will be hearing either of these pieces. Both choir and composers received genuine and extended applause.

Robertson's piece...employed advanced techniques for all three instruments, atmospheric and very suggestive of its subject.
