Dear Marcus and the wonderful Alice Springs World Chamber Orchestra. Thank you for producing such wonderful music for us during the troubled times of 2020. I have been filled with admiration by the great spirit and joy expressed in your performances and I look forward to attending the wonderful events you have scheduled for 2021. Seasons greetings and love.

“Epic concert tonight, so wonderful to play with such amazing musicians, thank you Markus for making this happen”

“Congratulations Markus! I thoroughly enjoyed the concert. The orchestra sounded fantastic and I liked your wide selection of short, entertaining pieces."

“It was really good, congratulations to the whole crew, you play classic but you rock!”

“Dear Markus and the wonderful 12 string musicians under your flute direction!!! I wish you could develop and bring more music to our community. Music is the only language which goes beyond religions, ethnicity, gender, age etc… Music is Universal. Music may be the only instrument of Peace left in the world. Make music not war, may be the next slogan. Thank you for bringing it to our diverse Community of Alice Springs.”

“Dear Markus and World Chamber Orchestra, Thank you for providing another exquisite and dynamic evening of classical airs and tunes on the lawns of Flynn Church yesterday.”

“Your group is gaining in competency and range, and, under your charming and eclectic direction, has assembled an enjoyable and accessible body of work for the music-loving community of Alice Springs.”

“I sincerely thank you all for sharing so fulsomely your collective skills and talents, and the Northern Territory Government for supporting this on-going public program of bringing classical music to the people.”

“I look forward to attending the remaining concerts in the current season, in the fervent hope that your group’s unique contribution to Alice Springs’ artistic life will continue to flourish under the auspices of the Live Alice Mpartwe Arts program. Yours sincerely.”

“Hello Markus, I Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the orchestra’s concert last night in the Mall. Your contribution to the cultural life of Alice Springs is much appreciated. I hope this series of concerts can continue for many years to come.”

“Dear Markus, Just a few words to say how much I enjoyed the music last Wednesday. How lucky I felt, lying on the grass hearing some of the most talented people in our town play so beautifully. And none of the city hassles with parking, driving, or even having to pay for a ticket! I couldn’t help but be grateful that we are making the most of the skills of the people in this small town. I really did feel blessed, such a beautiful way to wind down after a difficult day at work, thanks again!“

“Hi Markus, I am writing to support your application for more funding to provide more free classical concerts for the community of Alice Springs.) I love these concerts and the opportunities they create for the creation of community in a town which, in recent years, has sometimes been prey to fractious division. The musicians play to a high quality. The concerts delight because they play music with which i am familiar as well as introducing me to new sounds. I hope with all my heart that the funding bodies will see fit to ensure that they continue. Many thanks for your contribution to our community, regards.”

“Can’t wait until the next, we loved the whole atmosphere, keep going.”
