TESTIMONIALS
"We don't always in our own settings have the opportunity to do new music at a high-level. This is something that I think is going to really set this company apart."
"Last weekend was truly incredible! So honored to not only conduct at Carnegie Hall, but share the stage with such beautiful souls! Thank you Matthew Workman and National Concerts for a wonderful, first rate experience!"
"Matthew Workman and National Concerts - you brought artistic collaboration to a new level - choirs, wind ensemble, directors, accompanists, composers, lighting designers, dancers, projectionists, guest conductors - the real standing ovation goes to you. You were meticulous, creative, organized, driven, and worked tirelessly to create an unforgettable evening of music."
"I am still on Cloud 9 from an amazing Carnegie Hall weekend! Thank you to all of my colleagues, friends, and collaborators for making this a truly memorable experience! “

"So excited to be involved in this tremendous event with National Concerts. Congratulations to Matthew Workman and his amazing team—my students, chaperones and I are forever changed as a result of our experience!”
“It was a beautiful evening filled with messages of unity, beautifully executed music, and love. I think we walked away better people. As was expressed by many: this concert broke the norm of what a Carnegie performance usually is. You surely brought artistic collaboration to a new level.”
"An exciting program and premiere of "Home in Me" yesterday at Carnegie Hall with Matthew Workman and National Concerts! Huge thank you to National Concerts staff, conductors Dr. Sandra Snow and Dr. Meredith Y. Bowen, poet Dr. Sienna Craig and all of the singers and instrumentalists who performed my work so beautifully!"
"This weekend, a small group from the choir traveled with me to NYC to perform in the National Concerts Treble Chorus under the direction of Dr. Sandra Snow. These young women learned some difficult music, including a world premiere by Dr. Andrea Clearfield. The choir got to work with Dr. Clearfield which brought the music to a whole new level. These ladies did an amazing job!!! Thank you to National Concerts and Matthew Workman for this excellent, professional, exciting collaboration."
"Matthew Workman, I cannot say enough about what you have done for my students and my program over the past 5 days! You provided my students with an experience that they will talk about and cherish for the rest of their lives! Thank you for helping my students out and their families when they really needed it!
If you are a choral director and you are looking for a truly meaningful experience for your students, National Concerts is the only way to go! They are so professional and truly think about what is best for the students! They bring in phenomenal clinicians that positively impact your students! I can not recommend them enough!"
