The musical offerings were so sublime, and hearing of their volunteer offerings to communities where they continue to bless many needy folk, encourages me deeply.

And I’m old enough to be their grandmother, however, I continue to be inspired by their ideals and real life commitments. As Dr King said, Love is the way, not hate! “Only light can put out darkness.”
I am so inspired to recommit to his legacy!

Praise for these teenagers’ endeavors and to their encouraging environment.

“From The Top” is wonderful ! Thank you so very much for your weekly program that I listen to on Classical WETA in Washington, DC!

]]> Comment on Karl Paulnack to the Boston Conservatory Freshman Class by Liza Jane http://greenroom.fromthetop.org/2009/03/11/karl-paulnack-to-the-boston-conservatory-freshman-class/#comment-3442 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 05:46:01 +0000 http://greenroom.fromthetop.org/?p=166#comment-3442 Thank you. So, so much. I’m a college freshman, and during my senior year of high school, I had that same moment, where you think, Does this even matter? It was so strong, really, that I came to college with a plan to study nursing instead. But I’ve discovered that music is what I must pursue. You have just told me why. Thank you.

Especially the flutists beatboxing. Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner’s playing of the Barber Sonata in E flat is so passionate. I hope one summer these kids ever get the opportunity to experience the summer program camp that I’ve attended when I was their age. The Luzerne Music Center in Lake Luzerne, NY. This is the camp ran by Philadelphia Orchestra members.

You are correct – that is a chorus. Choral music does seem to be quite strong in Colombia, probably because of the prevalence of Orff programs.

Thanks for your comment and support!

It is wonderful to know that yet another country is supporting music for the young people. The photograph posted shows the youth orchestra and what appears to be a chorus behind the orchestra. Is this so? Is choral music also a priority in Columbia? I am always looking for balance between choral and instrumental music in public & private music settings.
Thanks. Suzanne Cech (suen@fea.net)
