We attended the concert “Hommage à Max Richter – Vivaldi: The Four Seasons Recomposed” at MaiHof in Lucerne.

It was an absolutely beautiful and deeply emotional evening. The musicians were outstanding and played with incredible skill, sensitivity and passion. The sound was wonderful throughout.

We were seated at the side of the sixth row and still had a very good view of the musicians.

In addition to Vivaldi, they also performed “On the Nature of Daylight”, which was especially moving for me. Luckily, my makeup was waterproof.

It’s was really nice and I enjoyed the music the band played

The experience was great and very different. I had a great time especially this being my first time attending such a performance.

The service and quality of production was top notch. Great job to all the performers

I’d had a very busy day, when i arrived at the Coventry venue, my head was still racing.
We were shown to our seats in a wonderful venue, i noted how it was surprisingly cool on such a hot day. My wife was seated and and I felt quite relaxed as a music started. The Lord of the Rings.
The music was so relaxing, and as a musician myself i appreciated the quality and complexity of the playing.
It was a very relaxing evening, that was just what i needed. I have no hesitation in Recommending Red Events

We attended the Richter Recomposed concert at Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh on 11/07/26. This is a piece I know and love and was looking forward to being immersed in it in a live setting. From a few bars in I couldn’t believe how bad the tuning and timing were. Far from feeling relaxed and swept away by the music I felt increasingly anxious that the whole thing was going to fall apart any second. I actually found myself wincing at several points. It was a very short concert, especially for the money paid (with no view of the ensemble at all) but I was actually relieved and grateful when it came to an end because it was so uncomfortable to listen to. With the exception of the final additional piece “On The Nature of Daylight” which was lovely and well played. There were moments when it came together and I could hear what would be possible from this ensemble but, in all honesty, I just felt so embarrassed for them. I hate to write this because it seems like these were probably a group of young musicians who hadn’t been given adequate time to rehearse. And, if that’s the case, then is horribly unfair to do that to them. Makes me wonder if the Mystery Ensemble is just a bunch of disparate musicians brought together on an ad hoc basis. Not their fault - there was some fine playing at times from individuals but no cohesion. Making a living as a musician is incredibly hard so my criticism is not aimed at the musicians who were just doing their best and, I imagine, just getting a gig where they can, but at the company behind this.

It was a special time, listening to the concert , being inside the music and the magic atmosphere that brought you in an other space an time . There was a particular intensity due to the comunication among the musicians so that notes flore from one to another creating a sort of sound’s river .

I went to see a group perform the music from The Lord of the Rings at St. MARY'S church in Nottingham. Today, Saturday June 27th. It was fantastic! I loved every minute of it. It was amazing to see how coordinated they were with each other. You could see how they had respect for each other, including the lady who played the piano. I was enraptured!

My daughter and I attended the Hayao Miyazaki’s Dreams concert at Sunderland Minster and had an excellent evening.

The Minster was a wonderful choice of venue, intimate, atmospheric and perfectly suited to the performance. The combination of the string ensemble and piano sounded absolutely beautiful in the acoustics of the building, bringing the music to life in a really special way.

The evening was very well organised, with a bar available before the concert, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The lead performer was warm, personable and took the time to engage with the audience between pieces, adding a lovely personal touch.

Overall, it was a beautifully executed event and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We’d happily attend another Red Events concert in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Studio Ghibli, Joe Hisaishi’s music, or simply an evening of outstanding live performance.

Easy enough to book online and reasonable value!

loved the lotr concert, great musicians

The church and such incredible music were made for each other 🫶🏻 I was so enjoyed to listen to the musicians! Thank you!

I went to several concerts by the Mystery Ensemble and every single one has been amazing in terms of atmosphere and quality of the performance. I have seen strangers talking to each other about the music, the films that have watched, their favourite song etc, people smiling, moved to tears, sharing the joy and the excitement. At such difficult times like the ones we are experiencing now, live events this these bring people together and help spread some much needed hope and positivity, which is exactly what these artists do. I really don’t understand the negative comments here. I am ok with the fact that there is no printed programme - it all adds to the mystery! - but If I may have one suggestion, I’d love to see a short biography of each musician on the website.

Shockingly bad! Ignored me for days when trying to buy a ticket for myself, as a disabled person, to go to an event. My essential companion had to just show up with me and hope he was let in. Still not heard anything from Red Events, and it's now multiple emails and days after the event! Avoid!

Booked tickets to the The Music of Harry Potter by Mystery Ensemble. I had to request a refund due to an emergency medical procedure for my Son, which I provided evidence for at Red Events request. They cancelled my tickets and said they had processed the refund on 21st April. I am still yet to receive the refund 6 weeks later.
After chasing twice, I received a response from a member of the team asking for bank details as there was an issue with the sales platform. I provided my details nearly a week ago and am still yet to receive a refund. The quality of customer service has been unacceptable, I am concerned that this may be a scam.

I attended the music of the Lord of the rings at St Mary’s Richmond - wow what a beautiful evening! The musicians played beautifully, (violins, violas, cello, double bass, Steinway piano and oboe- the double bass added such an edge for Isengard themes!!) The music was a medley of fan favourites from the score. Especially loved the rendition of May It Be. We were a few rows back but it was still so enjoyable. I’m a composer & a violist, was really thrilled that the viola had some great solo moments! 🎻 It was also very encouraging to see how many children (esp. little girls) were in attendance, judging by their delighted faces I’m sure it inspired the next generation of film composers! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 highly recommend and looking forward to future concerts. 🎶

Watching Hayao Miyazaki’s Dreams by Mystery Ensemble felt like stepping back into childhood for an hour. The music was so beautiful, emotional, and nostalgic. It brought back the quiet magic of growing up with Studio Ghibli films and all the feelings attached to them.

On the 2nd of February this year, I booked two tickets for Max Richter’s recomposed version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Within five minutes of making the booking, I realised I was unable to attend and immediately emailed the organisers to explain the mistake and ask whether a refund would be possible.

After quite a long wait for a response, I was told refunds were not possible due to their policy and that I would instead need to rebook another event. After some back and forth, I agreed on the 19th of February to accept tickets for another event from their programme instead.

From that point onward, communication became extremely poor and very infrequent. I followed up again on the 21st of February and received no reply. Eventually, on the 27th of March, I was sent a code to use on their website, but it only covered a single ticket rather than the two tickets I had originally purchased.

I informed them of this issue on the same day and then followed up repeatedly on the 1st of April, 6th of April, and 9th of April without resolution. On the 21st of April, they finally responded asking me to resend my tickets so they could check the matter. I sent the tickets immediately, followed up again on the 8th of May, and since then I have still received no response at all.

The customer service has been exceptionally poor throughout this process. Responses take weeks or sometimes over a month, there is no way to contact them by phone, and the entire experience has been incredibly frustrating. At this point, given the lack of communication and failure to resolve something they had already agreed to, it genuinely feels as though my money has simply been taken without proper service or accountability.

Concerning the Mystery Ensemble in the Grote Kerk, The Hague, Netherlands. Lovely, earnest, honest and well put together concert. If you want to experience goosebumps all over, treat yourself to their concert.

Always performing outstandingly! The shows always begin and end on time. The performers have honed their skills to excellence. I am ever-ready for the next event.

I had an amazing time at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire where I went to listen to The Music of The Lord of The Rings (Tribute to Howard Shore). The music was amazing, the ensemble played beautifully. The choice of venue was amazing, thank you to Red Events. This was good value for my money.

Lovely music, the crew playing Vivaldi was really talented!
