Moving performance and great seats -- thank you!
A momumental and interesting piece. I think I need to hear it again and become more familiar with it. Soloists were wonderful. I'm really glad we went.
Gorgeous! Great Seats! Thanks!
Incredible performance, and what a fabulous seat!....Thank You!!

It was clear the performers were absorbed! Looking forward to the Mozart Requiem which is a little gentler on the soul...
