Every musician and staff member was recommended by my contractor, and everyone was absolutely wonderful to work with. The concertmaster, Belinda Broughton paid me the hugest compliment, saying "the musicians and I have decided we'll probably be seeing you again." Having Jasper on hand as an advisor was absolutely invaluable. He was able to translate my rambling and raving into something discernable that the musicians could understand. Jeff helped advise me on the score and the part preparation. And Peter and Damon both donated a lot of time and energy into helping me get the best final product possible. I couldn't have asked for more; I learned so much!
