      Every time I hear the Austin Bella Corda play I am amazed and inspired. To see not one, but three fabulous groups of young adults perform this night (Austin Bella Corda, St Louis Bella Corda, & the Youth Guitar Orchestra of Bad Nauheim, Germany) was truly a treat for the ears and the soul.

      The smaller ensembles (Austin Bella Corda, St. Louis Bella Corda) were flawless and the soloists superb, but the Bad Nauheim Youth Guitar Orchestra stole the show with a program ranging from a light-hearted rumba (with enthusiastic audience participation thanks to director Konstantin Zobel) to Mozart Divertimenti, well-arranged for guitars. The sing-along to "That's Amore" would've gone better if the audience had known more than the first two lines, but it was fun nonetheless. The grand finale was an outstanding combination of all 50-odd performers who filled the hall with sound. What a wonderful night of music! Collapse

      The evening was full of beautiful music, masterfully played and incredibly entertaining. Each piece was better than the one before. I honestly can't say which was my favorite. That the 50+ guitarists were all under the age of 20 or so is astounding. There are some dedicated teachers out there bringing out the best in our children. Thank you, teachers. Thank you, performers! Collapse
