"What a wonderful night of music at Carnegie Hall - absolutely thrilling.  It was a true pleasure to have you all with us this past weekend and we wish each of you special congratulations on your appearance in this legendary hall.  It is always a scintillating treat to see an audience stand to their feet with applause at the conclusion of a concert, and I am so glad that you are able to have that experience with you as your careers and artistry flourish.
With warm wishes from all of us at DCINY, Iris"
