- Best candlelight performance yet. Yes! The 4 piece Kalkaska quartet sounded like full orchestra. super job
- Awesome job! It's insane a 4 piece can recreate what a full orchestra did for the movie and do it so well. This is our 4th Candlelight concert and we'll be on the lookout for more! Greatest Showman maybe??
- Delightful!
