Praise for Palm Beach Symphony’s Chamber Music Series “The Palm Beach Symphony quartet provided an entertaining reading of Still’s works, always allowing the charm of the works to remain in the foreground. The ensemble handled the technical challenges deftly, never drawing undue attention to them and detracting from the overall simplicity of the adapted melodies.”

– Palm Beach Daily News

Critically-Acclaimed Masterworks Concert Series “Vibrant and glorious…. elegant and stylish… the depth and sound of a much larger orchestra with the precision of a fine chamber ensemble… the best the Palm Beach Symphony orchestra has sounded for some time.”
