What a wonderfully calm and ethereal concert. It's my favorite part of the holiday programming. Thanks.
Terrific concert - thank you for making it available. I tried to get seats but was too late. I enjoyed listening to the rebroadcast this evening - New Year's Eve.
Is St. John the Divine open to hosting concerts ?
The space is quiet and pure.
Consider holding some of your future WNYC concerts there.
The Winter Garden space is public, & TOO noisy with it's AIR handling system...
And Unless someone is willing to flip the switch, and turn off that section of the system for a special event, why bother...?
The acoustical experience in The Winter Garden > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SUCKS.
Think about it.
Best regards, & Happy & Healthy 2009 ~>
Brooklyn Rider - Passport. Yep. The whole record.
