ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your good note. How we wish we had the budget to perform this amazing English repertoire also at Mondavi. We would LOVE the opportunity to sing and play these works a 2nd time. Sorry about our performance date not working out for your schedule. - The SCSO Team
