"It was a marvelous concert and the music performed…generated much discussion on the bus ride home. Your friendliness and interest in us as students made out trip to the L. I. Philharmonic complete. Please extend to the members of the orchestra our hearty congratulations on a first rate performance. For those of us who had never been to a live symphony performance, it was a beautiful introduction."
- from a letter signed by the orchestra students of Plainview-Old Bethpage J. F. K. High School
“Our students attended dress rehearsals and evening orchestral concerts. These programs exhibited world-class musicianship, were well organized and reached out to students in a warm and educationally appropriate manner.”
