The reviews are in! Last Saturday's afternoon concert was a showstopper! Audience member Galina Austin, Mountain General Music and Choir Teacher, provided these glowing words: What a fabulous concert in Los Alamos on October 11th performed by Academy of St. Martin in the Fields!!! I will forever remember beautiful French horn melodies in music of a Modern British composer Huw Watkins, elegance and mischief of Scherzo of Jean Francaix and grace of divine performance of Schubert. Unforgettable! I look forward to enjoying the next concert performed by the pianist Avery Gagliano on November 23rd. She is the Winner of the First Prize and Best Concerto Prize at 2020 National Chopin Piano Competition!!! . . @asmf_orchestra . #asmf_orchestra #joshuabell #tomokeller #asmf #stmartininthefields #violinconcerto #violin #chamberensemble #chambermusic #londonclassicalmusic #musicnewsupdate #musicnewspage #dailymusicians #newmusicdaily #laca #visitlosalamos #newmexicomusic #musicnews #losalamosnm #losalamos #losalamosnewmexico #musicdaily #newmexicomusicians #losalamosconcertassociation #musician (fb)
