BOOK CITATIONS:
AUDIENCE QUOTES:
“It was quite simply the best concert ever! {Exaltation! Biblical Stories through Music} I have known the symphony a long time and this was spectacular in a long list of spectacular concerts.”
“I so admired all that you accomplished with it–the theme, finding the unusual works for the first part of the concert to carry out the theme, that incredible young genius violinist {Stephen Waarts} who played a difficult work from memory!”
“Byram’s {Amick Byram} finale, “You’ll Never Be the Same” was outstanding, and the encore “Masada” was electrifying.”
