Dear Christine, Thank you for a stunning performance in Oklahoma City. We have not met ?I wanted so much to congratulate you after your performance, but it was just impossible for me to fight my way through the crowd. We�ve never attended a classical music performance in the arena, (OKC Phil performs at the Civic Center Music Hall) so what an incredible treat it was! You certainly had a HUGE crowd perhaps over 5000! What were the names of the two songs you performed so beautifully at the VERY end after the Rachmaninoff? We are not members of PEO, but we attended the convention because we heard they invited a young, talented pianist to perform at the Cox Arena. (we�re classical music fans, esp. of piano music!) We�ve now discovered your beautiful website, so we�ll be able to follow your wonderful career. Thank you once again, for touching all our hearts here in Oklahoma with your talent. We�re looking forward to hearing you play again!
Sincerely, Toni Ann & Paul Tessler

P.S. Did you have enough time to do some sight-seeing of OKC?

Dear Mr and Mrs. Tessler, Thank you so much for your kind message, and for attending my performance! The last pieces I performed, were: Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor, Op. Posth. by Frederic Chopin, followed by a Finale from Franz Joseph Haydn's Piano Sonata in A-flat Major, Hob. XVI/45. Though I didn't have much time for sight-seeing, I did manage to take a glimpse of the Oklahoma City National Memorial both during daylight and at night from my taxi window. It certainly has become a beautiful site of remembrance. Thank you for the message, and take care?

Hi, - I just saw that you play Nielsen at your concerts, - could be funny to know what pieces... 5 piano pieces or/and the 3 piano pieces.By the way, - my piano teachers father was a student of Nielsens ;-)
Kind regards,
Kasper Bach

Hello Kaspar, Thank you for your message. It is the Three Piano Pieces, Op. 59 (1928) that I perform in my recitals. Both the Chaconne and the Suite, Op. 45 are very impressive as well, and I hope to incorporate them into my concerts one day! What a small world - to learn about your �connection?with Mr. Nielsen! Do you play any of his music? All the best to your piano studies!

Hi Christine, You have a fantastic website. I hope all is well in AZ. Your friend, Steve Cook

Hey Steve!! What a nice surprise to receive your message ?AND, it was great to see you, and hear you play again!! The Albright was such a delight to hear ?I�ve recently worked on his Sonata for Saxophone and Piano (1984) with Daniel, and the compositional style of those two works is so diametrically different. It�s always refreshing to hear works that are rarely performed! So, how was sky-diving with Don?  Hope you�re doing well in Chicago?must be VERY cold there? Brrrrr!!! Here, it�s still in the 100�s? unbelievable! Take care, Christine

With Warmest Regards and Congratulations to you Christine -- Paul and I were so happy to attend your recital and to hear you perform, after many long years! The last time we heard you perform was when you were 6, at the Grand Theatre du Quebec, and as you know, we have since moved away from Vancouver. It was your parents who invited us to your Phoenix concert, and what a delight it was to see you grown up into a very charming, sophisticated, beautiful and talented woman! We are sad to have missed your Laguna Beach concert with your trio, since it would have only been a stone�s throw from our home. But now that you know where we live, please let us know of anything in our neighborhood, and always know that you will have a California �family?who loves you very very much! Your recital was exceptional. What we heard was a deep affinity and love for Rachmaninoff's music coming through your every note; emphasizing the dark passion of your playing and carrying off its extraordinary technical demands with youthful dazzle. Bravo Christine. We look forward to your brilliant future ahead, and eagerly await your CD! Congratulations again! All the best, Paul and Joann Cooper

Christine, Jonathan and Bryan, Many thanks in sharing your talent with us at the Ryman Gallery this afternoon. You are already well on your way in becoming an ensemble of considerable greatness. Your recital was an awe-inspring musical journey full of detail and colour, gorgeous sound, and startling imagination. A thrilling experience! What�s most wonderful is that you are all so incredibly normal and charming! It was a pleasure to meet you, and we hope that you can return to us for our next concert season here in Laguna.
Very Sincerely, Nicholas Ambroisse
