“By any standard, these young musicians played with great enthusiasm and surprisingly advanced skills. The final work on the program, a performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, brought the house down with thundering applause and a standing ovation for the young musicians. It is a great tribute to our community that YMMC, now in its 25th year, has flourished as an organization that is well staffed and highly regarded, even though, like all classical music presenters, it is engaged in a perpetual struggle for funding.”
“Music Director Khudyev has to be admired, not only for his musical skills (and he is as accomplished as a violinist as he is as a conductor), but also for his skill in finding increasing support in the community.”
