The BUZZ about WSCP.

See what everyone's talking about.
"I would say that this is possibly the best performance I have ever heard of this work, certainly in live concert—something up to the highest and professional artistic standards.  I find it difficult to express fully my excitement over the sudden creation of this marvelous pool of young musicians.”
 
-John Barker, The Well-Tempered Ear
