Here are the comments:

A truly fabulous performance. My three-year-old daughter enjoyed it so much that she has been talking about the concert for days! The appearance of Santa was also a great surprise.

---------- Ms. Chang (Kowloon Tong)

The performace was really brilliant!

---------- Ms. Tong (Tai Wai)

The show was awesome and the orchestral team was wonderful. The narrator Matthew Hale did a great job on the story-telling. Karen Daley's voice was so sweet.

---------- Miss Yeung (Wong Tai Sin)

Our family of four enjoyed the performance very much. We loved the mixture of singing, animation and story-telling together. The stories were also very meaningful, teaching us about friendship and left us with a warm and cosy feeling in our hearts.

---------- Ms. Yeung (Central)

The live soundtrack to the movie really brought the film alive. Encore to all the musicians, performers and the conductor. CCOHK just gets better with each performance I attend. Bravo to all your efforts.

---------- Mrs. Liang (Mid-Levels)

Excellent! This show was good for both the children and the adults. Pleasant and enjoyable.

---------- Ms. Tang (PokFuLam)

A splendid show with an entertaining and captivating mix of music, singing and story-telling! We were totally mesmerized. Thank you!

---------- Ms. Lee (TaiKoo Shing)

The orchestra was fantastic and the narrator supplemented the film well. Thank you for a wonderful night. What a great show!

---------- Miss Law (Tai Po)

Excellent execution by Jonathan Douglas and a relaxed atmosphere for the whole family. Keep up the good work!

---------- Miss. Wong (Kowloon)

A fantastic and entertaining performance and a great introduction to classical music for children.

---------- Mr. Muir (Discovery Bay)

I really thank the CCOHK for giving me and my whole family such a heartwarming Christmas treat as The Snowman & The Bear. The wonderful music and singing made us feel as if we were too were travelling with the boy and the snowman in the northern skies.

---------- Ms. Tang (Heng Fa Chuen)

The best show in town ever!

---------- Mr. Tse (North Point)

A sincere, wonderful and innovative performance.

---------- Miss Kwan (Chai Wan)

This concert combined visual and audio elements and kept my children focused all the way through the performance. My children really enjoyed this concert. Thank you!

---------- Mrs. Wong (Sha Tin)

This was so different from the average concert. Thanks for holding such a special event before Christmas. It brought us lots of fun and good memories.

---------- Ms. Law (Tseung Kwan O)

I loved it!

---------- Mr. Tsang (Kowloon Tong)

This was a very good programme. My 7-year-old child enjoyed it very much and was really into it. The children smiled all the way throughout the performance. The orchestra's performance was very high. I would also like to praise Matthew Hale, the narrator of The Bear. His pronunciation was clear, lively and interesting.

---------- Ms. Chow (Quarry Bay)

The friendship in the film between the snowman and the boy and the bear and the girl was most heartwarming. The orchestra's performance was wonderful. The music uplifted the atmosphere and drew everyone into the story. The narration was clear and easy for everyone to understand. Overall the performance was really good.

---------- Miss Yeung (Sha Tin)

The Male narrator (Matthew Hale) performed with sincerity and feeling. His voice was loud and sweet. The orchestra's playing was pleasing to the ears. The arrangement of the concert was innovative and smooth. I appreciated this concert very much and hope that we can have a show like this again soon - THANK YOU!!

---------- Ms. Fung (Tai Po)

This is the first time I have experienced this kind of performance. The combination of film and live performance was both interesting and refreshing. It brought the film alive and made everything more interactive with the audience. The performance standard was also very high. Thank you very much for your performance tonight!

---------- Miss Wong (Tuen Mun)

Tonight's performance was wonderful and really worthwhile.

---------- Miss Tai (North Point)

I think tonight's performance was really good. The girl soprano (Karen Daley) sang really well. My friend and I were captured by her voice! I also thought the narrator Matthew Hale was great. His voice had different tones, e.g. loud & soft, high & low and combined with the wonderful music made for a totally absorbing performance!

---------- Miss Wei (Sai Wan Ho)

Congratulations to these friends, who have each won TWO FREE TICKETS to one of the CCOHK’s upcoming concerts. We will be in touch with you soon!
