Patron Comments
Please tell us about your concert experience! Send us your comments for posting.
Here are a few comments from our April 25, 2010 patron survey asking how we could improve our series.
“I’ve always been very happy and satisfied with your choices.”
“Nothing specific to add. I love your concerts!!”
“Don’t stop them – carry on as is – Excellent!”
“It is perfect!”
“Excellent series”
“Surprize me!! Very happy with the concerts EXCEPT for modern music.”
“You’re doing a wonderful job! Thanks to all.”
“Great as they are, but program notes in hard copy (or Internet) would be helpful. Coffee and cookies are very good!”
“The same – very nice!”
“You can’t – I’m beyond explanation each time I attend – INCREDIBLE”
“Excellent series. Geared to all tastes! Wonderful young & older & musicians with disabilities! A great experience for any age group. Keep up the fantastic work!”
“Difficult to say because your performances and venue are excellent”
“Mooredale Concerts are superb. I hope very little changes! Occasionally (eg: the Busoni sonata) the choice of music produces curiosities that really aren’t quite good enough. They are wonderful!”
“I am thoroughly satisfied with the time, location, venue, artists and structure of the Mooredale Concerts.”
“All concerts very enjoyable experience.”
