They also performed to Prince Charles and guests at Windsor Castle.
| Neil Munro, London Committee of LMN, Trustee of Munro charitable trust |
| "The fact that Helen's clarinet and Ivana's piano playing were excellent came as no surprise since this is to be expected from musicians who work with LMN. What was exceptionally pleasing was the way that they related to each other and above all to the audience." |
