    Quotes & Highlights

    • "When performed well, the great work is capable of cutting to the very heart and soul of humanity.  It was indeed done well, and it clearly pierced the sensibilities of its audience.  Eyes reddened with tears and handkerchiefs came out by the scores at the end of the performances... audience emotions poured out into an intense standing ovation." --The Daily Review, on the SF Choral society's performance of the War Requiem in 1999
