NOTES FROM PAST CONCERT PRESENTERS:

"Abha and Steven are outstanding musicians whose sold out concert on July 22, 2005 mesmerized our Cranbrook patrons. The program was a fascinating demonstration of artistic taste, emotional power and technical refinement. The audience was captivated by Steven's virtuosity as a guitarist and Abha's accomplishment as both a vocalist and flautist."

Sincerely,
Elena Ivanova
The Cranbrook Institute

"The Dearings possess that special quality in musical perfoamnce that transcends time and space, transporting the listener to faraway worlds many have only imagined. Their warmth and sincerity-both on and off stage-is immediately evident and brings comfort and a sense that all is well. I gaurantee that you will fall in love!"

"The pleasure was mine in arranging and sponsoring two concerts, one in Evesham and one for the Cheltenham International Music Festival. They demonstrated -quite apart from their fine musicianship, a superb balance; precise and yet lyrical, intense and yet light of manner, involved in their music and yet accessible to their audiences. I look forward to the European return of the Dearings to advance their international reputation yet further."

Faithfully,
Rev. Michael Dadson

"It was a pleasure to hear the combination of classical guitar with voice and flute...offering a colorful blend of musical sounds, especially with such skilled musicians. I was delighted to hear the kind of precision and musicality displayed by the Duo, and it was evident that the audience throughly enjoyed the high level of performance and imaginative program of varied compositions. It is obvious that the future is bright for such talented musicians."
