No matter how we felt when we arrived at (a performance) we would all, audience members, conductor, and orchestra, feel much better when we left. How many things are there left in today’s world with that level of reliability and assurance?

As a professional musician, I can say with confidence that I have rarely played under the baton of someone as gifted as Maestro Churchill.

At the heart of Symphony Pro Musica is Mark Churchill's artistry as conductor and director...(Churchill's dedication) is unwavering, resulting in a level of musical expressiveness that consistently surpasses the expectations of a community orchestra

Mark’s earnest, music-loving approach, as well as his ability to shape the rehearsal sequence so that everyone could play with confidence at concert night, created a congenial atmosphere that made all of us give our best.

I’ve been playing the bassoon for more than 60 years and have played for at least as many different conductors. Mark Churchill is simply the best.

(Maestro Churchill's) deep experience, musicality, and endless dedication to the cause are inspiring. The orchestra plays music for all the right reasons: with curiosity, seriousness of purpose, and enthusiasm.

My first attendance at a concert by Symphony Pro Musica under the direction of its founding conductor, Maestro Mark Churchill, was so delightful that I immediately became a subscribing member

It has been a delight to see how Maestro Churchill brings fantastically original programming to the community while maintaining a high standard of artistic excellence and fostering great enthusiasm among the musicians.

SPM’s playing was thrilling, because it was so accomplished, so solid and so comfortable. The orchestra clearly loves to be playing this music, and they shared their joy with all of us. What a beautiful program and what an inspiring afternoon!

The Beethoven (Violin Concerto) is a forever project, and I learned so much just by working on it together with SPM and (Maestro Churchill)

Symphony Pro Musica played on a level far beyond what anyone expects from a ‘community orchestra’ serving a local area...a real sense of common endeavor!

For more than four decades SPM has set the bar for non-professional ensembles...with programs that are consistently fresh and thought-provoking with performances to match. The end result is, indeed, rare, special, and worthy of celebration.

To work with Mark Churchill is to watch a true master of his craft. His attention to every musical detail and nuance is unparalleled and his rapport with soloists attracts world class musicians.

Mr. Churchill and the orchestra were so crucial and formative in my development as a pianist and musician...it brings me great joy and warmth to see SPM in full blossom and continuing to support and help young artists and musicians around the world.

With SPM, I got to learn and perform works that have become essential in my concerto repertoire, but more importantly, I realized that a truly rewarding concert experience comes from the trust, passion, and support among pure-hearted musicians.

(Maestro Churchill's) thorough knowledge of the score, in both the new and old repertoire we performed, was incredibly impressive.

Being a part of this orchestra has awakened a profound connection to the music and my fellow musicians.
