Some years ago I had the privilege of playing a concert (symphony player) with Cherish the Ladies. I will never forget them standing backstage after the concert thanking each of us as we came off the stage for "getting it." I still am a huge fan of theirs and follow Joannie Madden's work with anticipation. I am thrilled for your opportunity!!!

PS - I play Klezmer clarinet on the side….
Well, that makes two of us! I thought I was the only person in the world who plays klezmer in a kilt, but maybe not!

I also play pennywhistles and bodhran, though I'm terribly out of practice on the drum.
