"Bravo!! Please take your time and recover from your incredible gift to the city this past week."
"You, and the incredible faculty certainly gave us all a week to remember."
" Mark. . . You have inspired so many to inspire others. Thanks to all who worked hard to make it a roaring success! Thank you!"
"Mark- thanks for your inspiration, vision, and creativity! Tonight your incredible students, teachers, guests and YOU raised the roof and took us to another galaxy! It was a privilege to be there!!! Congratulations. Blown away."
"It was the best week of my summer. :) Can't wait for next year!"
"We had a wonderful time, and participated in everything. Ben went to all of the advanced classes, and took all of yours. He loved working on your concerto, the caprices and all of your music, with you! The evening concerts were amazing. After 10 years of being involved in the classical music community, we are so glad you have expanded our horizons by bringing this camp to the northeast!"
"I have become more inspired and in-touch with the music around me like never before. It really touches me to hear you talk about this camp because I know that you really started it for us. You, sir, have achieved this week more than you may know."

"Mark! What a camp that was...Drama, suspense, difficulty, triumph... Quite a monumental deal. Your observations & perceptions through the years about various teachers, campers, and so on have really developed this thing into something very precious to all of us." Darol Anger - Instructor
"Hey Mark! I just wanted to thank you again for allowing me to be involved with the "Conference" this year. The lineup was so phenomenal, I would have loved to
have only come as a student - Thanks again." Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek)
Dear Mark,
There are not words to describe this special feeling one acquires at your fiddle camps/conferences. It's magical, just like the music you make. Thank you for doing this twice a year and for taking time out of your busy schedule to be there. You bring so much joy to so many lives and touch so many people ...some you're probably even unaware of. -Susan
