'Thank you for letting us see in more than one way, musically and seeingly.'

A response from one of the thousands of students who attended the WCFSO Hearing Pictures Youth Concerts last month. Another wonderful comment from the same class: ‘You sounded extraordinary and you made everyone be inspired. I love orchestra and I was amazed listening to you.’

As I wrote over on our Tumblr we’re inspired and amazed by these and scores of other thank you notes from our 4th and 5th grade audiences.

'The formally dressed were talking about their favorite Brandi Carlile songs, the hipsters talking about the amazing symphony. Heck, some of them were even talking to each other.'

Any concert at which this is happening is a concert I’m thrilled to be a part of.

'A performance of such a high level of artistry and accuracy would not have been possible with any of our previous orchestras.'

Extremely proud to read this assessment of last month’s Rite of Spring from a longtime observer of the WCFSO, George Day. Audio proof coming soon …

Portland! I’ll be doing this with your fine orchestra on Friday night. And you don’t even have trust me that Brandi Carlile and crew with symphony is a tremendous experience – just have a listen.
