Synopsis
AUDIENCE IMPRESSIONS
"Edward & I saw the Bel Canto Duo perform Take Flight: The 8th Wonder of the World yesterday at Gallery 1516. As people who have been privileged to hear some of the greatest musicians of our time perform live, our hearts have never been opened in this way. Tears fell, awe was invoked. Deep gratitude to all of the creators, sponsors, and especially to the cranes, the river, nature & all the stewards."
