"The Double Gold Tour was an incredible experience for our chamber group, Mirasol Quartet. The performing venues were outstanding, and combined with the outreach and educational programs, they provided us an opportunity to continue to do what we love: sharing our music with audiences who may not be familiar with the saxophone repertoire but are nonetheless very excited and enthused when we perform. Of course, this would not have been possible without Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and its organizing staff and directors, and to you I say: thank you for allowing us to share in this wonderful experience!" -Ben Still, Mirasol Quartet
