Great content, terrific performances. It doesn't get better than this." ACCESS Arts Live (Paris, France)

Distance and my husband’s physical disability now prevent us from venturing to Philadelphia for concerts. You provide access that is invaluable to people like us." The family of Bill M

We are grateful to you for streaming the APS concerts. They help to liven up the winter! The variety and quality of the performances and choice of music is a pleasure." Julia S

Thanks to PCMS' generous live-streaming of so many wonderful recitals this past year, my husband and I have been able to "attend" far more concerts than would normally be the case. He is 90, is in a wheelchair, and suffers from mild dementia, so staying at home and participating in concerts in this way is an absolute gift. We have front row seats and can even run encore performances! Who could ask for more? Thank you to the staff and board for dreaming up this gift to us all." Roger & Tricia W
