CHAMBER MUSIC AS LIVING ART

Comments about Pacific Serenades:

It was my first time to attend but it certainly won't be the last!

–a listener

The programming practices of Pacific Serenades ought to provide a model for any chamber music series.

The various players brought elegance and poetry [to the music]

What a memorable evening!

and about our new music...

The first few moments... were so startlingly beautiful-and unexpected—what one's soul wants to experience.

–a listener

pleasantly unpredictable as well as inventive and fresh

–Los Angeles Times

a most attractive and engaging work

I am indescribably impressed.
