David Childs
Euphonium
Thank you so much for the experience of a life time! Performing in
Carnegie Hall was genuinely a dream come true for me, and you and your
colleagues at DCINY made it extra special for me on so many levels.
The orchestra were superb, as was the professionalism and hospitality of all at DCINY.
I don't mind telling you I was a little anxious about taking to the
stage of one of the world's most prestigious concert halls for a
respected concert promoter like DCINY. I wanted to do well for both
Karl [Jenkins] and DCINY, as well as for my family and myself. I
prepared a great deal and in the end I was delighted with the outcome -
it was a fantastic experience I will cherish for many years to come.
