". . . [we were] overwhelmed by so much zest for music. A wonderful experience!"
Daniel Brueggen
The Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet
"Without question and in every respect, Ames Town & Gown is a model association. In every organizational detail of each concert, from the warm hospitality before and after concerts, well-organized outreach activities, elegantly written program notes, attractive performance venues, and enthusiastic audiences, Town & Gown sets a very high standard. It's no wonder world-class soloists and chamber music groups love to come to Ames."
