  • “The concert was really, really enjoyable. You all need to be very pleased with your performance. I liked the literature you chose, and in the shadow of the recent couple of days events, it was so timely. It was obvious that you had to work really hard to make that concert happen, and happen it did. It was terrific! ...What a fabulous group.”
