"....the event was a success. Residents are still stopping me along the corridor to say they enjoyed the concert and when are we having another one!...As residents were leaving the concert I recorded these comments...It was a success story!

• I really enjoyed it. Such a lovely man. He surely knows a lot about guitars!

• I enjoyed Zorba's music...but had no energy to dance it like I used to! We both (holding hands with his wife) enjoyed it.

• What a lovely cultural afternoon! We need more of these....please!

• I am so glad my daughter came with me. What a treat for both this was.

• Frankly I did not know if I should have come. Then I decided to walk here...and boy am I happy I did!

• I came late because I wasn't sure if this concert was for me. After the third music he played I looked for a chair and sat till the end. Great concert mate! Well done!

• Could you please lend me a biro or a pen. I want this man to autograph my program.

• I am glad we had him play one more song. Wasn't the last song a beauty? Encore...Encore..

This is a short review I wrote in our NEWSLETTER for JANUARY:

"January has already started with a BANG! The classic guitar concert was a hit for all people attending. Dr Paul Leventhal, a musician, professor and entertainer, brought us on a musical journey that spanned across centuries, across cultures and countries, across musical genres including ballads, sonatas, classic waltz and pop culture! Every piece presented with a deep cultural knowledge of its origin and a pinch of humour! Extraordinary concert...Encore Encore please!" (Elio, Point Clare, January 2024)
