I dreamt of Keshet Eilon the other day – I shall miss it. I hope it goes very well, and although
I only attended once, it is an experience that I will keep with me all my life. It was incredibly
special to me and I have to say I'm envious of the students who will go this year.
However, I wish them well with their time there and hope they make the most of it!

The final Keshet Eilon concert last evening was a deeply emotional experience.  The closing ensemble

of 46 violinists playing together onstage summarized your accomplishments over 17 years of growth and creation better than any written word.

I trust that the donated violins [contributed by a supporter in Switzerland to the Keshet Eilon Violin

Loan Pool for students in need] will add to the symphony of violins that keeps swelling at Keshet Eilon year by year.

Dear Keshet Eilon,

I can only say thank you again for all you have done and have organized for us. It was such a great time, I enjoyed it so much, and in fact a part of me is still in Keshet Eilon – in my mind and my thoughts.

It was a very intensive experience, I received a great deal of inspiration and input regarding my playing,

and it was lot of fun too. Everyone was so nice!

Many, many lovely greetings to everyone, and a very big thank you again. I really hope I'll be able to come back next year again!
