Comments
Menored by Mozart
concerts October, 2006
“You destroyed all my
notions that chamber music is all ‘fiddle screech and piano tinkle.’
Your selections were tuneful and melodic. The musicians obviously enjoyed
it and I did too!” A.S.
“A superb concert on Saturday night! You really excel at getting great
musicians to join you, and you find such unusual and beautiful music to
present. Thanks for another unforgettable concert!” T.L.
“That was an exceptional performance on Saturday night. Everyone in
our party agreed that it was one of the most amazing performances we've
ever heard. Spectacular!” A.B.
“This is only my second concert of this type. The artists played with
such emotion, feeling and grace. What a delight!”

From Chocen With Love concert. June, 2007
“Music
is a multi-layered experience and Red Cedar helps you understand more
of the layers. Setting the music and instruments brings you into the performance
and the music. You leave having been part of it rather than just audience.
How wonderful it is that you are Iowa-based. Thank you.” M. Z.
“I don’t
know enough about music to be technically appreciative, but I enjoyed
it very much. I expected a more “boring” sound vs. the fast-paced
interactive blend that was produced.” D. M.
“Unbelievable!
This trio is a fantastic gift to our community.” M. C.
“Saturday
evening was magical - perfect setting, perfect audience, wonderful music
and musicians - it was obvious that everyone truly had a wonderful time,
and you had the audience with you all the way.” B.T.
We had such an
enjoyable evening – listening to your fabulous performance and taking
part in all the festivities. That fire dancer was spectacular! Congratulations
again on your remarkable 10 years! Bravo!” C.S.
