“I was delighted with the Philmore Ensemble’s performance of arias from my cantata, The Rim of Love.  Julia Madden sang with true expressivity and a wide range of colors, communicating the essence of each piece. Tim Ribchester played the difficult piano part with sensitivity, finesse and technical command. The concert was a wonderful event; a celebration of the music of our day and thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience.  The Philmore Ensemble is an important addition to the musical life of Philadelphia – Kudos!” –Andrea Clearfield
