Our trip to Washington, D.C. was both memorable and musically satisfying. The performance venues were outstanding and the audiences receptive and appreciative. I must make special mention of the Kennedy Center performance. It was certainly the ‘performance of a lifetime’ for many of our students and one which they will never forget.
