                        Norma Weintraub Meyer facebook post> For those who missed last night's concert at "Music at Bunker Hill" , don't miss any others! "C.J. Chang and Friends" was music of the highest order. These luminary performers, headed by Mr. Chang: Amy Yang, Josef Spacek, Efe Batacigil, Jason Vieaux, John Koen, Natalie Helm, Joseph Conyers, and William Frampton performed a stellar program of Glazunov, Rebecca Clarke, Paganini and Bach. Right here in Washington Township. Bravo, bravo - we all left much inspired.

                        with the local area's best world class jazz musicians...National Park 1/15/10

                        It was
                        so nice to see newcomers in the audience and to see Music at Bunker Hill starting to branch out. Whenever I play there, I'm always happily surprised by the focus and attentiveness of the audience. The great acoustics combined with the intimacy of the hall and warm attentive audience creates an atmosphere that makes it so easy and enjoyable to perform!  Angelia Cho, violinist, Ansonia Trio 12/4/09

                        Regarding
                        the Yamaha piano; I personally enjoyed playing/rehearsing on it very much, as the piano was very welcoming and friendly in giving me the opportunity to be my 'voice' at ease.  I was able to articulate clearly with my fingers (this, through fast and responsive action on the keyboard, light touch, but firm enough to feel the big warm sounds when needed), and since it had healthy soprano, bass, and warm middle register, it helped me greatly when I wanted to give and receive whenever needed in chamber music performances.  I was able to produce 'colors' that I heard in my mind, being able to execute it through this piano -- which is probably the most important thing.
                        We as a trio agreed that the hall was probably one of the best to play in.  It is rare to be in a venue where we can hear one another as chamber musicians at such ease. The combination, both the piano and hall, made our music making a most exuberant and satisfying one -- we were able to give, (re-)create whatever we wished to do, and dared to go beyond.....with success! Akiko Chiba, pianist, Ansonia Trio 12/4/09

                        On December 4,
                        I attended my second concert of the series and I was "blown away" by the performance of the Ansonia Trio.  I am so grateful to be able to experience the work of amazingly talented musicians just 10 minutes from my house. Thank you.  R.A.M. - Wenonah 12/11/09

                        Superb
                        music performance right here in Gloucester County. Music at Bunker Hill is a real treasure. You have to hear it to believe it. E. G., Wenonah 12/9/09

                        ...We all
                        thought it was absolutely wonderful. In fact, I took a flyer and hung it on the bulletin board in our clubhouse to let people know of the next concert. I told them to call me for directions and noted that it is top notch entertainment, close to home and very reasonable. I live in Lakebridge, an over 55 community with a very active club house in Deptford. I'm sure many people here would enjoy going to your presentations.
                        M. C. Deptford 12/9/09

                        Another
                        great concert last night! ... It was great to see so many people turn out for this one! Can't wait until the next. C. L. Mantua 10/23/09

                        "Such
                        a lovely concert.  I hope you recorded it.  They all will have great futures (and I can say I know them)." L. S. Marlboro 10/23/09

                        'Oh,
                        by the way...one of the nicest compliments I heard regarding your son last night believe it or not had nothing to do with his musical ability.  I overheard someone say "William has a good heart".  I told him that you and your husband did a wonderful job with him.' -K. P. Marlton 4/20/09

                        The Midiri Brothers
                        were right!  (The ensemble had performed at Bunker Hill Church prior to the launch of the Music at Bunker Hill series.)  While performing a sound check hours before the concert, the duo remarked that the sanctuary benefited from having been built in the 1980s, before the era when churches were engineered for high-tech, high-power praise worship (read: a lot of sound-deadening material).  As a result, not one nuance of Ms. Cho's or Mr. Meyer's artistry was lost to an overly sound-dampened space.  I trust that, as word of the thrilling performances reaches into the South Jersey region, more and more classical music aficionados such as myself will flock to Bunker Hill. -D.J.W Turnersville 11/24/08
