from the performers:
"...Thank you to everyone who came to my Plein Air outdoor concert with Peter Hill, and made it such a success. Even though the rain actually stopped 15 minutes before showtime, I was sure no one would show up because of the unpredictable weather, but you all proved me wrong - bless your hearts! - with a near-capacity turn-out. It was truly a magical evening in a beautiful garden setting. Thanks to Peter, for his stellar playing, and to Susan Brown and her staff, and to all of you - the audience members - for making it such a very special evening of music." July, 2016- Joel Sheridan
