I am enamored of both Tessa Lark and the vitality she brings to the series.
Caleb Hudson was outstanding! I have never heard a trumpet played with so much melody, heart and richness. It was like listening to molten gold!
You pulled out all the stops ! The concert was a marvelous show of talent. Thank you !
Best concert ever. And without question the most exhilerating of my life, which given that I'm 74 and have been to many more than a few -- is saying something. Thank you, and all involved.
Another wonderful MM concert yesterday! I was blown away by the versatility of the artists. The program deftly interwove instrumental and vocal, classical and modern. Please congratulate Tessa. I really enjoy being exposed to a variety of music and listening to young artists who are willing to experiment.
Saturday's concert was like being invited to a jam session with Tessa and her friends!!
The variety of artists, their instruments, their choices, and their interpretations of some pieces we know (or didn't know) was 'indescribably delicious'! Wonderful!"
What an amazing show. If I wasn’t going [elsewhere] this afternoon - I would be back. It was just great. Innovative and fun.
The six of us absolutely loved Sunday's MM concert...Our three [high school] trumpeters were awestruck!
Musical Masterworks is a splendid and exceptional organization.
Musical Masterworks has changed our community forever.
How totally enjoyable the concerts have been all year . . . I don't remember leaving one on such a high as I did this afternoon. The audience was totally engaged, including a young boy in the balcony across from me who stood and listened, totally absorbed. A wonderful sight !
It is such an unusual series and one of the greatest pleasures in my life: to sit quietly, no extraneous unordered beeps or squeaks and cacophony. Only sweet sounds from very skilled and talented musicians, offering themselves to us and sharing the beauty created between composer and player. So rare these days...I always feel a lot better after a MM concert. Necessary R&R.
