""Your concert was worth the price of the cruise alone!" " |
|
|
"You should see all the comment cards... they are chock full of praise for you (the Armadillo String Quartet). They love the huge variety of music that you play... that you don't just play Classical music.
The passengers just love you." |
|
|
"What a wonderful concert and what a treat it is to have such fine entertainers (such as the Armadillo String Quartet) on board with us." |
|
|
"Your concert was wonderful. It was just what passengers needed at such a
difficult time. The dedication you performed (for the victims of the
World Trade Centre) was just the right thing for a time like this." |
|
|
"I
really enjoyed your concert and the passengers loved it too. I can't
believe how many people stopped me in the halls to give me accolades
for having such a wonderful and diverse group. Of course the accolades
belong to you. Thank you for putting on such a great show."
Mr. Tony Sher - Cruise Director 'Silver Wind' - Silversea Cruises - 2001 |

"Your
music gave so much joy and so did your delightful company. Having had
individual chats with you all I feel I've known the four of you for
years! I've played you're CD twice this evening and it brings back such
nice memories of the Silver Wind"
Mrs. Carol Shipman - Passenger 'Silver Wind'- Silversea Cruises - 2001 |

"You guys are so great! Thanks for playing the Bocherini (Quintet for string quartet and guitar) with me on my concert. The passengers loved it. I'm going to talk to my agent in New York and get us some concerts together."

|
|
"Thank
you for your wonderful performance last night. We had no idea we would
find such excellent quality entertainment out here in the middle of
the Atlantic. You are the hightlight of our cruise." |
|
|
_____"...Thank
you. Many passengers have commented on how much they have enjoyed
your wonderful music._____
|
|
|
"...I
well remember the Armadillo String Quartet, a talented Canadian group,
filling the packed Wheelhouse Bar with Schubert and Brahms on a special
afternoon at sea." |
|
|
"...You're
broadening my (musical) horizons!...You sell your music very well,
and I love your broad range of repertoire. You wear a lot of different
hats, from classical to jazz to country. It's great! "
|
|
|
"I
would like to take a moment to comment on the outstanding classical
concert conducted by the Armadillo String Quartet. By far, this was
the most enjoyable 50 minutes of the entire cruise. Please extend
for me, my whole-hearted gratitude to these wonderful performers and
professionals." |
|
|
"...I
expected some entertainment like the evening shows which were O.K.
but I did not expect to have a string quartet on board. Congratulations
to the management. The Armadillo String Quartet was a great choice,
not only because it gives a young group of musicians a chance to perform
and show off their talents, but it brings classical music in a delightful
way to a general audience which normally may not get any experience
of the classics. The Armadillos have an excellent repertoire which
combines popular music with the classics. They show their enthusiasm
for music every time they pick up their bows, and that enthusiasm
seems to be contagious. They are an excellent group, and have extraordinary
foundations and knowledge of their trade and craft."...

"The
Armadillo String Quartet has been a great asset on board the Cunard
flagship, the Queen Elizabeth 2, during the vessel's
1995 World Cruise. Their musical presentations have been varied, ranging
from the classics to popular and jazz standards. They have been well
received by our passengers and have performed in many different venues
from formal recitals in the ship's theater to background areas. They
have also performed many times as a prelude to our evenings cabaret
entertainment in the Grand Lounge. I have no hesitation in recommending
them for future work." |
|
|
"...passengers
are constantly praising your group in their comment forms. I think
you're wonderful. You really add a 'touch of class' to the vessel."
|
|
|
"The
Armadillo String Quartet has provided first class classical and popular
musical enjoyment for the passengers on the new Dawn Princess
during its inaugural Alaska and Caribbean 1997/98 seasons.
The quartet's popularity has been consistently recognized each week
through the passenger's cruise evaluation forms. Their enormous and
varied repertoire allows them to play 'requests' ranging from jazz,
gypsy and show tunes to the popular classics. They have been featured
in afternoon concerts in the Wheelhouse Bar, and have performed for
tea time and pre-dinner music in the Grand Atrium. I have no hesitation
in recommending the Armadillo String Quartet for employment. I have
enjoyed having them on my entertainment staff. They are truly not
your average string quartet" |
|
|
"You

on the ship." |
