What people say about Ethos West concerts

Since 2008, we've been including a brief questionnaire in our concert programs, asking our audiences for their feedback – things like what kind of music they enjoy, how they learned about this concert, and if they'd like to be notified of the next one. People have been good about filling them out, and some also add comments about the performance, the music, or Ethos West in general. Here are things people have said:
