Reviews

‘I took my 82 year old mum to The Palm House this evening, it was her Christmas present from me and it was a surprise. She was overjoyed and cried twice. At the end she told me it was the best Christmas present she has ever had and if she never goes out again she would be happy this was her last outing.

It was a fabulous performance from all of you. Thank you, you are so talented. Merry Christmas ‘

‘I had the privilege of attending one of Matt’s concerts in Leeds this Saturday. Words do not do justice to the beautiful soulful performance he gave with his fellow musicians Tim Abel who is a master pianist. Not only is Matt an extremely talented violinist but he presents with charm and great sophistication. This ensemble is not to be missed. They are incredible and their music touched my soul.

Recently I went to see Matt Glossop playing in a concert in London. I was in awe of his energetic, powerful and spine-tingling performance.

Matt gave an explanation about each of the pieces he played and had a wonderful repertoire. Certainly the best violinist I have seen live, a superb experience!
