What I liked

I adored the music – what a delightful treat for the ears.

What I didn't like

I want… MORE!

My overall impression

An enjoyable ride on the roller-coaster of the emotions we feel as performing artists. Wanting to be better, wanting to impress, and nightmares of a crazy teacher. Alex Derderian is a natural born clown and Peter Levine is a musical genius. If you won;t come for the laughs then come for the music. Life is good when one can sit down in an audience and just watch some talent absolutely kill it on the cello. The explosive chaotic performance from the maestro is wonderfully juxtaposed by the brilliant subtle comedy from every little expression the Cello Boy gives. Thank you fir the music Peter! When the lights came up and they started to bow, I threw my hands up and I said to myself, “I wanted 30 more minutes!”
