Testimonials from Directors and Clinician:
“What a truly amazing venue. Wood everywhere you look. Translation…stunning acoustics, like playing inside a string bass. And, the recordings I sampled were as even and clear as I have ever heard. Certainly, Round Top is a wonderful music-making destination.”
