comments -- “A truly
GREAT debut! Great crowd! Could have been noisier though. So
many outstanding moments! Especially for
those lucky ones that were standing outside, waiting
for their performing friends to leave Hill Hall. (Nicely
renovated, by the way. And it seems to have survived your
efforts last night to convert it into a veritable
charnel house of Unmusical Horrors. Tutti bravi!) I really think
you have something here! MORE!”

An audience member was overheard during the post-concert reception
remarking that she “never knew the Blue Danube Waltz was quite so
lo-o-o-ong.”
