“Unbelievable—I’m blown away. I’ve never heard this orchestra, I’ve wanted to hear it for a long time. it’s just amazing. Their instruments sang and it brings me to tears, especially the violinist, the soloist [Fiona Zheng, Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy]. She was crazy—crazy good.”

“[Fiona Zheng] really just—to the nth—she just went beyond what you thought any musician could do with any instrument.”

“I’m actually glad we sat in the second row because I felt like I was right there with them, with the musicians. With every song having meaning and the story behind it, you can actually feel it—loved it. I want to learn more about that and hear more of that.”
