"The expressions on the children's faces were so moving, I will remember
the day for the rest of my life. The whole orchestra and I unanimously
agree that [Toy Symphony] is one of the most important things we have ever
done, and that we will now commit more and more of our time, energy and
budget to forwarding the agenda of introducing music to the next
generations."
- Kent Nagano, conductor, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
"The whole Toy Symphony was really interesting, innovative, and great fun.
Working with the children, performing with them...It was a powerful
experience for the kids but for me as well. It's an amazing feeling to
achieve something this rich in such a short time."
