"What a wonderful evening! There was no element that wasn’t maximized; a world premiere featuring our sponsored artist and an exhilarating performance, followed by sparkling company and conversation. But of all these extraordinary delights, the very best part was simply being at Benaroya Hall for big, bold, live music. We will never, never take it for granted!"
— Paul & Lesley, Artists Circle Sponsors
