Testimonials

"What a joy it was to hear the Festival Orchestra on June 4th.  The soloist, Spencer Myer, was terrific, but we were most impressed with the intonation and musicianship of the ensemble.  Fantastic!  The woodwinds were the best I have ever heard!  Congratulations to the winds and their teachers!!!  Bravo! Festival Orchestra has  been a wonderful outlet for Christine to play great music with other students who are committed to giving time and energy to their instruments.  Thank you!" ~ Barbara and Jim Cifelli
