“To say that their performance was superb is no exaggeration. It would take a long list of superlatives to cover all the awe-inspiring musical moments of the afternoon. These consummate musicians executed every piece of music with precision and exquisite musicality. Not only did they serve up a feast for our ears, but ours eyes as well.

It was mesmerizing to watch their faces and hands as they began and ended each piece of music in perfect character.”
