Dear Jonathan,
I would like to congratulate you on a wonderful performance of Arwel Hughes' Dewi Sant at Carnegie Hall on Saturday evening. The performance was excellent and you should be proud of your achievement.
My grandfather Arwel Hughes' Dewi Sant is a wonderful work yet very challenging and you not only performed the work you performed it with energy, polish and vibrancy.
You did outstandingly well and I must also congratulate the 6 young ladies who sang the semi-chorus. They sounded like angels! Beautiful!
I have been very privileged to have experienced the thrill of hearing this work at Carnegie Hall and for that I thank you all very very much. I am certain both my grandparents, Arwel and his wife Enid, who was such an influence on his music, would have been so excited by the performance. To hear this work at such a great venue in such a great city is simply wonderful.
I wish you all well with your forthcoming concerts and I hope in the future I will have the opportunity to work with you again.

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.
