“Ana’s recital was a total pleasure, from her superb musicianship to her warm personality, which shined during both the concert and the post-recital conversation. The audience responded enthusiastically to each piece and kept encouraging her to continue after she completed the program and two encores.”
-Lockwood Hoehl, Executive Director, Baltimore Chamber Orchestra
