In the past few days, I have had many people approach me to say how much they enjoyed the concert. Many of them spoke of closing their eyes to listen, of being overwhelmed with deep emotions, of hearing music they could not fully accept was live, and of feeling blessed to have heard this production. Thank you for your important part in that experience for us and for them.
Today, a chorister wrote me and said: “The experience of the Messiah refreshed in me a sense of the sacredness of the season that I know will stick with me through the holidays. It's a pretty good feeling. Music has never quite done that to me before.” A chorister’s partner posted on FB to say this: “Thank you for an incredible evening of music which moved my spirit. What a wonderful gift to our community…”
For my part, I think we had a stronger performance because you formed the backbone of our “pick up” orchestra. It is difficult to bring strangers together to play with the same purpose and sound. Your history and chemistry together made this easy for everyone. You were patient, kind, knowledgeable, excellent guides and teachers. I look forward to another opportunity to work together. I am a better musician because of our time together.
Thank you so much for all you have brought us!
