You have given me something that will forever bring me strength in moments of doubt and uncertainty. Thank you, dear Maria, from the bottom of my heart!I attended the concert of Marc-André Hamelin in Kalamazoo, performed by the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Julian Kuerti. I went to listen to a pianist I greatly admired, and I experienced an extraordinary event, unlike anything we find in concert halls
