...push toward faith in charity has been the fiasco of fiascos, the one Presidential scandal that could disaffect every demographic. Benjamin Franklin wrote, “Communiter Bona profundere Deum,” or, “to pour forth benefits for the common good is divine.” Maybe we should have left it at that...
Joseph Haydn’s te deum did not suffer from any outstanding performance errors but was clearly the weakest piece in the program. It is extremely important that a piece by such a thoroughly classical composer as Haydn be played lightly, and in this sense, these pieces can be technically more difficult than apparently more demanding ones.

Mr. Christie's skillful organ playing added a lovely tone to the entire work. The children's choir was adorable, and sang with great enthusiasm. Overall, this was an excellent concert, and kudos go to all musicians involved in bringing Berlioz's music to life...
