We have been enjoying some wonderful feedback from those of you who were able to participate in our concerts last month. Again, the feedback was overwhelming. Here are a few sample emails that we have received:
“I just wanted to send a “Congratulations” for two wonderful concerts last weekend~ Thank-you for inviting me to be a part of this wonderful orchestra and experience. All the friends, students and their families that attended the Sunday concert are still raving about the music and the presentation! All future success!” – G.A. – Violinist
“The concert was absolutely phenomenal. The sound of the orchestra…it is so blended and cohesive, all of these world class performers coming together with such power and grace and beauty and nuance. It was a joy to hear it in such an up close seat, too – what a great venue. I was pretty much mesmerized and transfixed the entire time – you picked such great piece from such talented composers. I didn’t see you right after the show so you couldn’t see my face…covered in tears! Your piece – I just can’t express how much it moved me. I loved the whole thing, but there were two parts of your music that had me weeping,…” – C.C. – Composer
“[the concert] was really, really cool; I *get* it now! ” – C.R. – FIlmmaker
“Congratulations, again, on an exciting programme! I salute you for putting together a wonderful orchestra, and for your outstanding work as a composer and conductor….The orchestra and the music are outstanding…” – J.I. – Producer
…there were many more conversations (Facebook) and other emails…but we can say that the enthusiasm for the project is disproportionate to the attendance.
We are eager to offer more of this wonderful fusion of music, art, and poetry to the Los Angeles community. We have some exciting developments coming up. We are planning for a November concert of chamber music that will surely be an intimate and compelling presentation, and we will be making MP3 downloads and an on-demand video presentation of the event available as well. Thanks to all for your support and enthusiasm, and for your partnership in creating a community around the creation of new orchestral music, affective art, and the spoken word.
