I was on my way to the open theatre while i heard the sound of Loreena's voice travelling through the air... She was rehearsing. Unbelievable, she was only a few steps away..! We had the best seats: First row, only a breath away from her! She started with "she moved trough the fair" and took everyone's heart away, she looked like an angel, one could feel that she was different, her warm smile the nobility of her character, her charisma to touch people's souls. The "highlight" of my evening was that i had the opportunity to meet her and give her a warm hug (Couldn't help it!). Congratulations Loreena, you have a very special gift. People like you make the world a better place.. Sorry for being so long..!

Kalimera Believe me, Eva, I would have given a lot to attend Loreena’s concert in Greece. Just bad luck and family duties. It would be great to meet you – Loreena’s fan from Greece. Let’s increase the probability of the meeting: let me know when you come to Poland to refresh yourself . OK? By the way, I love Greek music, Greek people and colour of your sky and sea.

Hi megatim, If you were at the concert then you might remember me. I was the one who was handing out Loreena's flyers at the gate. The seats were kept for me and my friend i just didn't expect them to be so good!! Exquisit musicians, especially the violinist, i couldn't believe my eyes and ears! No jesse she didn't start with "The mystic's dream". Wish you were there, she sang like an angel, or better as if she was an elf from Lothlorien (JRR TOLKIEN). It might sound stupid but i couldn't help a few tears fall from my eyes when she sang " Never-ending road". I just closed my eyes and let myself travel into it's music and lyrics and ofcourse into Loreena's velvety voice..

Thank you Eva for your impressions. I’m happy the evening was magical because of you and because of four my friends who attended the concert. I hope they were able to give Loreena warm hugs as well. It is really a great finish of the concert to meet her after it. Jolanta

Instead I was in Taormina but I completely agree. Loreena is a so kind and sweet person! I think not only she has a very special gift but also she is a big gift for us. God bless her!
I was there too. Unforgettable! I didn't expect Loreena's voice to be so good. I could not tell whether it was a playback or not (of course it wasn't ) Kudos to all the musicians accompanying her, and in many cases, leading the songs. Amazing technic and expression.
How did you manage to get to the first row? What time did you arrive to the odeum? When I got there, an hour before the concert official start time, about 3/4 of the seats were already taken!
