| "What a thrill hearing you all last night. Great program. Very impressive. I plan to attend as many concerts as possible. Michael is a good addition to our musical community... Just wanted to thank you for a great concert... The Cascade Symphony is exemplary in
so many ways; the commitment of so many for so many years, the quality of
the musicianship, and so importantly the vibrance and expressiveness of
the music. I have been bragging about you and the orchestra, telling
family and friends how wonderful the concert was."

"I really enjoyed the Cascade concert last night. The Clair de Lune and the Weber clarinet concerto were excellent and beautiful. The string sections all have such rich confident sounds!" Joan Burton |

"Wonderful concert last night! I had never heard the Honneger before. What a delightful piece! The Berlioz was superb throughout the whole orchestra - everything - woodwinds, strings, brass and percussion - the orchestra had a huge sound to it." Barry Ehrlich |

What a fabulous concert! I thought
'Pictures' was probably the best we would ever play, but think we stepped
it up to another level last night. I never thought I'd ever have the
opportunity to play Mahler 5 in my lifetime, much less in a community
orchestra. What a treat to not only have the chance, but have the group
sound so good playing it. I had some musician friends in attendance last
night and they were blown away that we could play something of that
magnitude so well. Kudos to the strings for that gorgeous 4th movement!!
