The Longfellow Chorus March 24, 2015 Portland, Maine

The concert "Music from The Gilded Age" today was  fabulous! You promised it would be entertaining and  so it was. The music was superb; The Longfellow  Orchestra simply outstanding, as were the two  marvelous sopranos, Kaitlyn Costello and Cree Carrico.  The youngsters and their teachers from the "Woodside  One Wheelers of Topsham" certainly enriched the  show with their entertaining performance. We felt  enriched by being there . . . . We can't wait to see  what will be next on your agenda.
