at the American Gothic Suite premiere

“It's a tribute to Iowa musicians that Red Cedar features Iowa Composers and promotes Iowa Arts. I learn so much at every concert.” S.C.

“Music-making of the highest artistic level. The sizeable audience at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art was spellbound by Red Cedar’s playing. Lovely programming tied in wonderfully with the historic event of the upcoming Grant Wood exhibition.” M.K.

“The manners in which the musical works are presented allow even untrained, unschooled of us to begin to understand something about each work. That leads to greater appreciation of them. The musicians are obviously very talented and accomplished. We’re so fortunate that they choose to perform in Iowa. Attended many previous concerts and thoroughly enjoyed them.” M.B.

“You have done so much for new music. The world will thank you for years to come. It is a privilege for us to be able to hear it.” J.C.

“Unique group of instruments with delightful sound and flexibility! Opportunity to hear premiere of Andrew Simpson’s work made even more enjoyable by hearing composer’s comments—great feature.” M.K.
