What our audience is saying....
October 2009 I am the classical ballet dancer you
and Timoteus spoke with in the
"refreshment room" afterwards. I am
so very grateful that I "stumbled" upon
your performance Saturday night! What a
gem I witnessed. The perfect combination
of "out of Heaven" musical selections to
be enhanced and interpreted and
exquisitely translated for my ears and
soul by true Artists - all of you. I was
transformed as I always dream of "being"
when I go to a concert. I had no idea I
would swept away, but there I was "in
need" and you all and each gave me
Life.... Please tell your horn players and bassoonists that they struck a deep note in me. But of course each of the instruments speak so personally and deeply for me in the chamber music "setting". The acoustics were excellent for all of you, but of course you knew this, yes! Happy Music-Making ahead for the rest of 2009 and into 2010. Can't wait to hear more of OCP! Tell your beautiful husband, Timoteus, what admiration I have for his gathering the perfect sound/musicians together with the soul-satisfying choices of music! I love the way he and you passionately, truthfully let the music speak through the beautiful violin and oboe. All instruments are "delicious" when heard played by the Oregon Chamber Players! The viola, the clarinet, the cello, the bass, the flute - all my favorite voices. Thank you over and over. Linda Keeler Burmister

Quote
above from composer Ray Pizzi about the live
recording of his piece, "El Shlomo del Toro" "...Congrats on a wonderful evening last night. It was delightful in every way. My wife and my sister-in-law (who won a Mozart book) enjoyed it immensely.....I must say my little Piggy story was very well done. Thanks for my 3rd Golden Apple! Sincerely, (Composer of "Roland, the Minstrel Pig" writing about our OCP Children's Concert, Saturday, February 23, 2008) "...Sesalee's friend liked the concert so much (her first ever) that she already asked if I could take her next year. We had a rollicking good time on the way home, even stopping at 7-Eleven for Slurpee's (a substance usually banned in my car). It was an act of desperation and poor parenting skills as I caved in to the incessant enthusiastic begging.
While the concert was in progress I
looked around the church at all the kids
there and thought to myself, if it
weren't for the OCP, most of those kids
would have been home watching TV, none
the wiser for the beautiful music they
would have been missing. Now they have
the seeds planted for a life-long love
of music.
Thanks for doing all the hard work to
bring the concert together.
Kathy
By the way, Sesalee wants to be a
violinist now, inspired by the adorable
Stella!"
