Letter from the Editor
Dear Sister,
I want to commend all of the performers from the Pat Stenberg Concert last Sunday. It was truly a delight for us all to hear the beautiful sounds of the Sarasota Young Voices. And, what a refreshing combination of pieces, from the old traditional movements of Beethoven to the newly commissioned works of Trio Voila. Everyone did a beautiful job and the concert was well received by all. Thanks again to all the sisters involved in putting the program together, printing tickets, announcing, working the refreshments and ushering. It takes many wonderful people to put this all together. I posted pictures in the photo section, please check them out!
SAI cheers,
Francesca
