VICTORY OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT

W.S. McDowell, 

Dayton Daily News:

“It is difficult to describe what happened last night here in this city they call the Jerusalem of Europe. Simply say it was one of the great triumphs of the human spirit. The concert “United Through Music” at the National Theatre, conducted by two renowned Maestros, Dino Zonic and Neal Gittleman, provided a crowning culmination of such an astonishing week of cultural and historical encounters.”
