I love the Jazz Ochestra performance. Sometimes it’s intense and happy, and it can be gentle and blue and mellow. I hope to appreciate these shows more often. Thanks for your excellent performance and good luck to you muscicians!

Wonderful musicians. I liked how she spoke to the audience about her work and the violin's history; very humble and relatable.

This event was canceled and we were not informed that it was. I drove all the way from home, found parking and stayed waiting for the event for over an hour. I would appreciate if the public receives an email or notice of some sort when and even gets canceled.

The music was excellently played on period instruments. The singing was performed beautifully. The theme of the program was well demonstrated. I hope they do more performances.

I ended up leaving and not going in, because there was no parking and valet cost over $30 with atm fees. There were atm fees because they did not take card, which I find unacceptable. It was disruptive and took way too long. I don't understand why UT wouldn't have the technology to take cards, unless it's a deliberate attempt to not have to pay taxes by just handling cash. The attendant was also needlessly rude, which is also unacceptable because they are charging so much and causing such a disruption. By the time I found parking I would've had to walk to this venue and miss a considerable portion. I was just so frustrating, I didn't feel like going in.
