“The third performance was mind blowing. I loved the percussion sections presence. They really carried a lot of the piece. The flute soloists were palpable. I could feel the flow in my bones. The finger picking with the violins was definitely a highlight of the performance. I loved the way it set the tone. Quiet to loud! Soft to serious. It was incredible. And the harp player?! OMG 💘💗 TY philharmonics!”
