Read the review of our debut concert on December 4, 2011  Sharon Torello, LocalArtsLive.com     "The performance for this new ensemble was very good, and I'm sure it will only improve over time as they continue to perform together...The mood was friendly and fun, the tickets were very reasonably priced, and it was surely less stuffy than some classical music performances."
