Absolutely beautiful, one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard I adore it. Thank you for sharing!

I played the World Premiere of the orchestral version at the 2023 Midwest Clinic, under Mr. Boitz. It's such a touching piece written for Jay Kennedy's wife, Mallory Thompson. The first letters in the name spell out her middle name, Beth, which is a beautiful touch to a beautiful piece, for his beautiful wife. Did I mention Dr. Thompson herself conducted the piece? In the orchestral version, a singular cello (my best friend) was given a solo with the main melody. Hearing her octaves travel through the hall was one of the most beautiful things I've heard, apart from Bach's Chaconne and the first movement of Dvorak's 9th Symphony. And hearing the story of how Kennedy and Thompson met was incredibly heartwarming as well. I know Kennedy won't see this, but thank you for the beautiful piece, and please continue writing music for as long as possible. As Rachmaninoff once said, "Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music."

I came upon this randomly on you tube and you are superb. Im impressed with your sound and balance. Well done all of you for what you do.

I so enjoyed this entire concert! Loved the music selections and was enthralled by Pedro’s solo work on the English horn. So proud of my granddaughter Alyssa Hiener who performed on oboe in the double reed ensemble! Thrilling!

It was an honor to perform alongside such a fantastic group of musicians in the double reed ensemble! Here's to hoping that we can make music together again in the future!

I am so proud to be a bassoonist with the Double Reed Invitational. I hope we have the opportunity to play together again soon. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my favorite pieces of music. Performing it with these amazing reed players was a great honor I never expected to have in my musical career.

Amazing transformation of a rock 'n' roll classic into a believable and highly enjoyable wind instrument performance!

Masterful performance from Chris.

Where are these movement titles from?

Joshua Idio The Cruiseline Dream is such a fantastic piece!

We were the first highschool to play this piece! It's so cool, Michael even came down to visit us. You guys did it so well :)

Wowowowow. Thank you so much for such a wonderful and passionate performance of The Paper Man!!

Wow, I couldn't have said it better myself!

What a talented and dedicated group! New York is lucky to have them!

A nice throwback! Very impassioned vocal performances. Love it!

Beautiful

So enjoyable! It was interesting to hear Curt Ebersole’s story and meet some of the members. I admit to favoring the Harrisons just a bit ;-)

I cannot wait to see HIM! Tull got it right. He understands God's greatest gift to us. And you all played it!! Heaven on Earth.

What a wonderful band. Great performance.
