...Seldom do I enjoy reading your Opinion section--the writing it puts on display is often so poor as to obscure the very issue at hand, and in the rare case of a well-written editorial, the opinion itself is so poorly thought out that reading more than the first few lines generally proves to be a mistake.

They deserve your acclaim, not your scorn. KRIS P. SINGH, President and CEO Holtec International Cherry Hill...

That HRO could remain crisp and confident in even the most jagged parts of the score is worthy of applause. Katherine Evans' trumpet solos had a gorgeous tone seldom heard from student brass players and won her a well-deserved ovation. Friday night proved once again how lucky we are to have HRO, even if there are empty seats in Sanders when it performs...
