Friends...

They cherish one another's hopes.
They are kind to one another's dreams.

-Thoreau

Thank you so much for this instrument and for this opportunity to elevate my playing. I will use this instrument, not only at SOTA, but also at Eastman and for [the] Solofest.

I really appreciate Friends of SOTA making [seeing the Wizard of Oz] happen. This was such a cool show to see and I think it's so important for High School kids to be able to see such an environment of diversity and inclusion in their city.
