SOME E-MAIL COMMENTS FROM OUR AUDIENCE:

“This afternoon’s performance was one of the very best ever!  Maestro Dulude drew a sharp performance from the very large orchestra.  The ‘Bolero’ was exceptionally expert, with Debbie Simons pitch-perfect on a difficult opening solo.  The balance of the piece stayed at the top level of skill, too.  Congratulations all around!”

“We thought the concert was phenomenal and we were very happy we made the effort to attend.  I’m sure it was quite an undertaking putting all three groups together but I would have to say that it was more than worthwhile in the end.  We’re looking forward to your next performance!”

“The evening couldn't have been any better!  We have never heard such a program of favorites all together, and surely never before the ‘Va Pensiero’ in concert!  Your soloists were outstanding, and the combination of light opera, classical orchestral, and chorale was unbeatable. — Thank you for all the coordination planning, and most of all, the expertise in performance!”
