The concert was simply magical! The wonderful way the program flowed from one song to the next, the constantly rising emotional engagement and the fact that all of the above, including the technical challenges, were happening at a time of a near lockdown with increasing need of connection through music . . . ! All to say that this was the musical equivalent of what Frontline Workers do for all of us daily. It restored broken faith in humanity and showed us all how important music produced by humans is in times like ours. THANK YOU.

HUGE kudos to all! Such a truly phenomenal achievement! I was particularly impressed with the SOUND throughout the night, so major props to Geoff Warder! This entire broadcast was truly one of the best COVID shows I have seen. So much to be proud of, all of you! Sarah's and Christos' arrangements so beautifully sang in the hands and chops of my dear friends! And as expected, Sarah sang like an angel, and was a perfect host for the occasion. It would really be wonderful if there was a way to view that entire night again, but I am so very grateful that I was completely in the moment that night! Much love to you all!

What I admired most was the tenacity and passion of everyone involved, even including the devout fans. It was all a reminder that we can step forward in positive ways anytime we're pushed back. There's hope yet!!

Congratulations! What a breathtaking virtual concert tonight and a spectacular performance by Scott Good as Conductor/Musician/Composer extraordinaire, compelling singer Sarah Slean and the rich sounds of the London Symphonia. Simply brilliant scores of pulsing music, dramatic crescendos and inspirational diminuendos. Really felt the music in my soul. My sister and I adored it live-streamed from two different households. Bravo!
