Literally all you need to do is sit back and listen while over 60 elite musicians put their hearts, souls and every ounce of stamina they can muster into creating something incredibly beautiful just for you. That’s right, you’re that special to them!

Music enhances what we see, it tells us what to feel and makes those tears prickling at the back of your eyes spill down your cheeks. The same can be said for thousands of other TV shows or films out there, without music much of the impact is lost.
