“The amazing talent and I adore the musicians!”

“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.”
