The fine reputation of the broadcast was only magnified by the real thing. The respect your people gave to each of the performers and the support the audience gave to the entire production was wonderful. I am sorry to have missed the young cellist’s Barber piece, but the audience members around me could only be amazed at his cool and professionalism. And do not forget to mention the beauty of the Bach largo movement played impeccably and with soul by the lovely ladies (how else to describe their grace, no sexism intended) from Waldoboro.

The mission to bring young audiences (and maybe a parent or two) to a classical music event was done with great skill. To every audience member who came: don’t let it stop with this event – support these young artists and their peers for many concerts to come. You can hear them in Portland or, as they each seem to give so generously of their time, in your own backyard (if you are a trumpet player at least).

We loved having you and please come back.
