“I really enjoyed the intimate concert experience. The IBO
is a wonderfully talented
group of musicians.”

“The performers were incredible!”

“Elegant, inspring performances”

“The amazing talent and I
adore the musicians!”

“I loved the educational piece from Brandon Acker. I enjoyed hearing about the history of the pieces as well as the instruments themselves.”

“The music and excellent performance. World class.”

“The chat and notes help to
give me things to explore during
the performance that I might otherwise miss.”

“My wife and I greatly enjoyed
the informative, engaging
pre-concert presentation.
We have attended such pre-concert talks elsewhere because they enhance our appreciation of the music. Of course, the musical performance was also inspiring.”

“Very high quality performance.”

“This was only the 2nd classical concert I attended. I absolutely loved it. It was very close to my house, easy to access and park.
The cost was reasonable.”
