Thank you for all you are doing to bring this spectacular series to the community. It is unique in every way and a spirit lifting experience sorely needed in these times.

spirit lifting experience sorely

Thank you again for last weekend’s concert. I knew it would be special but I really wasn’t prepared for how deeply moving the performance would be. I do not believe I will ever hear Quartet for the End of Time performed with such emotional depth, unity of ensemble, and spiritual impact as I witnessed in your home on Saturday. If I never hear it performed live again, I am satisfied.

emotional depth

The finale with Attacca Quartet was a barn-burner! Their performance left me breathless - especially the Shaw! WOW, what a season!

‘I brought friends who spent 17 years in NYC and they felt the final concert of the season was on par or better than any they had attended there.

The four most significant takeaways for me: 1) the quality of the musicianship 2) the heightened enjoyment of seeing the music being performed vs just hearing it 3) the sincerity and welcoming warmth of every Belvedere team member I encountered 4) the genuine camaraderie of fellow-attendees. Well done!

The final concert was out of this world. I didn't breathe at all during the final 9 person performance.
