Exactly What We Hope For

Your concert was a wonderful success for Calliope. When we set about crafting a unique and diverse series every season, evenings like that and performances like yours are exactly what we hope for.

From a diverse audience of over 500 in the hall that evening, I am still receiving congratulatory e-mails from enthusiastic board members and audience members alike.

Your storytelling and scholarly approach to the blues tradition, as well as your masterful and emotional performance, fit our series perfectly.
