Editor,

Dr. Anna Edwards accomplished an awesome outcome presenting “Fairy Tales and Legends,” with Carmina Burana as the main work (Sunday, 3/22/2015). I’m still breathless. A choral group of about one hundred talented voices of many ages, three talented professional soloists and a full orchestra performed to redefine synchronicity.

I’m a fan of symphony, an admirer of music and musicians. In the largest of cities, no finer performance could be discovered. Edwards took on a task few would try. Limited to a gymnasium floor for the musicians and bleachers for the audience, one would think (and many voiced concern before the performance for acoustics and comfort) the outcome could be mediocre at best.  One would be wrong. The entire performance excelled, even in a gym. My husband and I forgot we were sitting in a gym and were swept away.

Whidbey Island is replete with gifted musicians and this performance yielded convincingly for that testimony. I shout, “bravo” and thank you to the conductor and all performers.
