Honest Brook Music Festival, Inc.
Invite reviews
Michael Cannon finds extraordinary musicians for the Honest Brook Concerts. I have heard wonderful music going far beyond the classical top 40 performed by expert if not widely known artists. The winter concerts held in people's home provides an opportunity to meet and get to know others who appreciate fine music. It is a privilege to be involved in even a very small way with this organization.

Ways to make it better...
The chairs in the barn were more comfortable
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Living up to the expectations it's created for itself.
One thing I'd also say is that...
I have enjoyed every one of the concerts I've attended. The Kelley Snodgrass pre-concert lectures were an extra added attraction. If Kelley could be persuaded to resume them it could only serve to enhance the Honest Brook experience.

I am retired NYCPD living in the Catskill Mtns. and never in my life thought I would become a classical music affectionado sp? Well I am now thanks to the Honest Brook Festival and those dedicated folks who run it. I have actually raced down from a vacation in the Adirondacks to catch a very special Franz Liszt piano concert that included readings about the life of Liszt.I returned to the Adirondacks in the middle of the night enraptured. Well well worth it.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
My new found enjoyment and appreciation of classical music.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make the winter performances matinees rather than at 8PM. Night time driving on snowy Catskill evenings can be a challenge for old folks like myself.

Not only the enjoyment of the first class music and the artists but, the access to meet them personally at the end of the performances.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Very kindly and good at what they were doing.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Put Carnegie Hall out of business as NYC folks would flock to the Catskills to enjoy Honest Brook.
Ways to make it better...
Could not be better.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
What will happen as more and more people learn about it.
One thing I'd also say is that...
As long as I can I will not miss a concert!
