The Concert in the Orangerie of Schönbrunn Palace was an amazing experience. Dan and Helmut were terrific and accommodating.  Equipment was there and ready to go.  The crowd was huge and incredibly receptive.  They would not stop applauding!  We had to make up two encores and they still would not stop.  Did you pay them?    It was a great warm-up for the Musikverein.

The concert at the Musikverein was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had musically.  I’ve conducted at Boston Symphony Hall, Lincoln Center,  Carnegie Hall.  This was spectacular.  It’s tough to put that experience into words.  The US Ambassador even showed up for our half.

The sights were absolutely perfect.  Can’t say enough about how good [the sightseeing] was.

Interactions with the MCI Team was perfection from start to finish.  Shari is the most patient person on the planet.  Everyone was so helpful.”
