Dear Ms Reising
We just wanted to say that we had such an unexpected treat yesterday afternoon while visiting our mother at Highbury House - we so much enjoyed your recital and were aware that we were listening to something very special. We are sure you touched many hearts yesterday, not just ours ! Thank you so much.
We will keep an eye on your website & hope for the opportunity to hear you again before too long.
Our best wishes
Ken & Shelagh Burton
“Magdalena brought magic to our summer birthday party in our garden. On a rainy autumn evening amazingly she did just the same, as she played from our conservatory whilst the party drank champagne. She plays with a natural grace indicative of her personality”
