Holly's Reviews

Thank you so much for playing on Monday. It was really wonderful and all the guests commented on how great it was.

Many thanks for your excellent performance last night. I had not heard that particular piece before—it’s great and thanks for letting me hear it played so well. I am glad you were able to join us and hope to see and hear you again soon.
