In case you missed it: Arizona Opera Orchestra Musicians program
The Arizona Opera Orchestra did an outstanding job engaging an audience of all-ages (from babies to seniors) Wednesday night at the Hamilton Library. They made classical music accessible & understandable by collecting questions on notecards and then answering between pieces. After the concert, they interacted with the audience who appreciated seeing the instruments up-close and speaking with the musicians. It was also inspiring to see them encourage the young musicians in the audience! The musicianship was superb and the quartet played with cohesion & clarity. After a long day of work, it was rejuvenating to hear the confluence of music and witness the performers' passion for music & connecting to their audience. In addition, the quartet was very affable, professional and added some nice touches of musician humor. I highly recommend this quartet as they are a perfect fit for venues ranging from public libraries to concert halls. We are thankful for the group in bringing some of the heights of classical music "out of the pit" to the flatlands of Chandler. -Ted L.
