    This annual pre Christmas theremin concert has become a must see event in my festive calendar. I can think of no better environment for listening to this music than in the candlelit chapel at Guy's hospital . Always memorable and wonderful.

    Lydia Kavina was an absolute professional. Also the pianist was totally amazing. The actual performers exceeded my expectations. I think the organizer can improve on the following : 1. Letting people in on time. A long queue had formed, gone past the start time, the weather was freezing that day. I also heard one of the female staff tell off a woman at the front of the queue, for asking to be let in. She quipped 'patience is a virtue'. Actually very rude. 2. To provide some non alcohol based drink, like water 3. An extremely bright spotlight was positioned right next to Lydia, obviously to illuminate her equipment. Problem is that it was positioned so that it was shining directly into our eyes (left side as you look in). Blinding. Had to close my eyes for most of the performance. There seemed to be quite a few technical issues - e.g. mic not working on and off, sound adjustments throughout, light adjustments. All of that combined to distract the audience from the actual performance
