“Congratulations on a remarkable performance last night! I’m a good friend of David Maslanka, and I emailed him to say what an amazing job you did with his music. It seems as though the piece was written for you—maybe it was?? You completely owned it, soaring on all those astonishingly high notes in a supremely confident and beautiful way. The balance and musicality of the entire group was really terrific. I wish David could have been there for the performance.”
