„Hello
Andrea,
I hope that you've had some time to relax after our "invasion" of
Argentina.To be perfectly honest, I was overwhelmed by the amount of work and effortthat you put into tour. Your staff was brilliant; activities perfect for
our children, and concert venues and logisitics wonderful. I've taken 8
school concert tours and this one was by far the best one, from all facets.
My students are still talking about it and I guess will for some time.
Thank you for making this special.
Sincerely,
John Cuk

Andrea,
„On
behalf of all of us who were blessed by your guidance throughout our tour,
thank you is not ample. Victoria and you made our tour a "dream tour". We
can't begin to thank you enough.
With our fondest regards.

„Dearest
Andrea,
First I'd like to thank you again from the bottom of my heart for the
fantastic tour and all your great care, work and friendship. The entire
orchestra is raving on what a great experience it was.
Thanks so much and please stay in touch

„Hola
Andrea,
We all made it home safely and much richer for our experience in
Argentina! You and your team are awesome.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! The outreach concerts were the
highlight of our trip. Playing in concert halls for knowledgable audiences
is always great fun, however, playing for people who have so little and no
access is heart warming. Thank you for arranging this for us.
All our love,
Lorne Morris
San José Youth Symphony Orchestra
President
„Dear
Andrea and Victoria
It was such a
wonderful experience, meeting you all and traveling the country. Thank you
for everything, including being there for my children when they got sick.
You are wonderful, delightful people and will always, remain close in our
hearts. My only regret is that we didn't take enough photos with our tour
guides - you!
With Muchos Love. Gracias,

„Just
a quick note to thank you for another fine singing tour. Although we
missed not having you with us, rest assured that Andrea and her group did
an extraordinary job! It was obvious from the beginning that we were in
the hands of true professionals. Each of them was enthusiastic, welcoming,
patient and extremely knowledgeable. They went out of their way to pay
attention to the littlest of details (like the "Welcome to Argentina" gift
bags placed on our bus seats when we were picked up at the airport, or
bringing along a gaucho doll and related paraphernalia on the way to the
estancia for 'show and tell'). These kinds of thoughtful little touches
continued throughout the tour, making it a very special one.
The venues chosen for the concerts had a marvelous acoustic and the
touring destinations and restaurants were varied and wonderful. Did you
know that Andrea went out of her way to obtain 30 free tickets (and primo
seats, may I add), to a fabulous string quartet performing in the Teatro
colon? Serendipity, and for me, one of many highlights of the trip.
Thank you for a wonderful trip, please convey my sincere gratitude to
Andrea and company for a job very well done!

a pleasure to find your lovely message near the top when I opened my
e-mail this morning! We had such a wonderful time in Argentina and

„Dear
Andrea,
Thank you so much for everything that you, Vicki, Florencia and the rest
of your staff, not to mention the bus drivers, did to make our trip such a
spectacular success! We had a lovely time! You picked churches with
wonderful acoustics for our concerts and the side-trips, especially the
one to Colonia, were great fun. Bob and I will always remember Argentina
and its people with great affection because of all your care and concern!

You guys did such beautiful work with welcoming us to a new country. It
was my first time on a plane, in a new country, and all I can say it has
been one of the most amazing weeks of my life. The culture, the churches…
I’m coming back here one day later in life, and hopefully all of the
memories of this week will flash by. Especially singing in the church for
our second concert. You all did so much and were very chill. Thanks for
everything!!

but this trip will be in my forever.

Sometimes, it’s difficult to find words to express your feelings. For me,
this is one of those times. There is no way that I could ever express how
grateful I am for this amazingly incredible trip. It was more excitement
and fun than I’ve had in a long time, and it all happened because of you.
THANK YOU!!
Charlie Helling
Thank you all so much! You all have made this a wonderful experience for
me. I really don’t know how else to tell you how much this has meant to
me! I love you guys!! Thank you!
DJ More
I can’t express enough what an amazing experience you have provided for
myself and the rest of the group. This trip is my new favorite and I can’t
thank you enough! I’ve learned so much and love the cultures of these two
wonderful countries. The performance opportunities you have given us will
forever stay with me and will share with my peers back home and to my
students when I become a music teacher in the future. I still can’t
believe we’re leaving today; it has yet to hit me. I will most definitely
be returning to these wonderful places because of my memories with this
trip. You are all amazingly wonderful people and I love and thank you all
so much!
Joanna Rose-Gross
For travelling halfway across the earth, putting this tour together must
have been quite a large amount of work. I am really impressed at how
everything fell into place – even with flight difficulties and the like.
I’ll never understand how you can manage to get performance opportunities
over here, though. It doesn’t seem like a normal thing to ask a city,
“High school musicians from the other side of the world are coming to
perform here; do you have a venue?” of course, it’s a lot more than that,
but set my drift. That you have the power to give us this opportunity is
awesome, and I am truly grateful to have had this chance for my Argentine/Uruguayan
premiere.
A few extra thoughts; I overheard some complaints about “not enough free
time", and I would like to say that the scheduling was near flawless.
Everything you scheduled worked quite well, and saving the majority of the
Shopping for last was an excellent idea. Though I’m the opposite of most
people – I came to play music (and not to dance & sightsee) - everything
in the cities was beautiful, so I suppose rejecting dancing and
sightseeing was rash of me.
OVERALL – well done! Thank you again for all of these opportunities and
adventures we’ve shared, and I can tell you this much – when I start my
career as a cellist, I’ll be back here at the first chance!
Josh Epstein
There is not enough space to describe all the joy and experiences on this
trip. The trip was very organized which made it very productive and fun at
the same time. The tour guides were very nice and knew a lot about what
was around us which added to the joy of this trip. Thank you for a great
experience I will never forget.
Max Sirlin
This trip had been such an experience thanks to you guys. It was great
getting to know everyone, especially the staff on the lower level of bus
1! You put in tons of effort into making this trip happen only to end up
with no sleep & your door covered in tape. I am truly grateful for
everything you have done, including having the sense not to lick the
ceiling on the bus
Take care with everything
Amanda Sobhy
¡Gracias!
Dan Schreiber
Thank you for making this trip truly unforgettable.
I had a great time and I will miss Argentina soooo much! Maybe I will
visit in the future.
Don’t forget… NO ALCOHOL!!

This trip has been absolutely amazing! Thank you so so much for everything.
I’ll never forget this trip!

Nikki Appel
Thank you so much for this amazing trip! It was so much fun and an amazing
experience! The tours were amazing.
Erin Lepanto
The effort put into planning this trip definitely showed because there
wasn’t a minute that I was not having an amazing time. There were so many
different activities that each showed something new about Argentina &
Uruguay. There was so much to do and so much to see and although it was
impossible to see all of it, what we did see helped us understand the
culture of this country. Thank you for this experience.
Abby Schubach
Thank you so much for everything you guys put in! I had a blast doing all
of the activities that you guys had planned for us! I could not have had a
better time while I was here! Thank you again!
Chloe Ghillani
The trip was amazing. I got to see so many places and things that were new
to me. Thank you so much for planning this trip. It could not have been
any better. I wish we could stay longer.
Mitchell Goidel
Thank you so much for this amazing experience. I learned a lot of
Argentina´s culture and had a great time.
Leila Sharifi
