Bravo to our on-stage host!

Our on-stage host Paul Steenhuisen's preconcert talks have been a great addition to all our concerts and clearly our audience agreed! We received many positive comments including the following after the August 3 performance.

“I woke up this morning, reflecting on the on-stage host who introduced and interviewed the two Isidore musicians. I found his intro incredibly rich, interesting, funny and moving. At one point, reflecting on human gifts and abilities, he referred to kindness. It’s something everyone can aspire to and it’s not out of reach. An incredibly important message. He was wonderful!” 

Preconcert talks for our next two concerts start at 7.15pm. Come early and prepared to be entertained! To learn more about our great host, click onto the link below:
