What People Are Saying About
Never One Thing
I was captivated by the conducting of Dr. Mitchell. The chorus was fully engaged with her and she guided them with skill, grace and beauty to produce one of the most luscious and complex sounds I have ever heard. It was like watching a beautiful swan! I look forward to her next concert!
Today’s program was just the healing balm needed right now as we enter a period of unnerving uncertainty.
It is rare to watch synchronicity and the symbiotic melding between musicians and their director. It was beautiful to experience as a listener. The diversity of the program certainly added to the entire experience with all of the conductors and musicians. So thank you.
