Alexander Abbott, composer of “Nature Speaks”, “Wind-Blown Blue Grass”, & “Everything in the Garden's Rosey” -- “MASSIVE CONGRATS !!!! (X 1,000) Well done !!!...but I'm not surprised !! I meant what I said about the standard of the choir after I heard physically what it consisted of and the professional outlook they have and keen too!...they just LOVE their music....that's what I think music is there for....to ENJOY IT.”

Daniel Cueto, composer of “Rio” -- “I was amazed at how good the choir sounds, especially after realizing that most (or all?) of the players are amateurs! Keep up the good work!”

Ricky Lombardo, composer of “Mysterious Mansion”, "The Flute Garden", & "Clusters and Flusters" -- “Thanks for including my “Mysterious Mansion” composition in your NFA program. Your flute choir is to be commended and very proud of their performance for a job well done. I hope everyone enjoyed my piece.”

“If we lived in Texas, my wife and I would want to play with your group. The recording of "The Flute Garden" is really terrific. Everyone should be extremely proud!”

Kathleen Mayne, composer of “Balcony” -- “...I am so thrilled with your recording of my Balcony. It’s the best I’ve heard yet. Kudos to your group and especially the sensitive musicality of your director. Tempos and dynamics were just dead on and I really enjoyed the balance of the low flutes to the top ones. Great acoustics too!”

Anne McGinty, composer of “Masques” -- “...This is terrific! I haven't listened to the piece in many years and it was a pleasure just to sit back and remember. Bravo! How nice to see such an active flute choir adding to the music of your community!”
