Dear Miriam
Thank you to you and the rest of the ensemble for entertaining everyone with your beautiful music. You gave the finishing touch to a wonderful evening. The only constructive feedback we could possibly give is that your performance ended before our evening did. Therefore, next time we book you, we will have to ensure we book you for the entire evening.
We look forward to hearing you again!
With thanks

Miriam (lead violinist) won the United Kingdom’s Jewish Performer of the Year. She gave her debut recital at the Alice Tully Hall in New York’s Lincoln Center with an ecstatic review from THE NEW YORK TIMES, which said that Miriam was “a gifted young violinist who proved a soulful performer showing flair and temperament, fine sensitivity and warmth.” She has performed in the Theatre Champs Elysees with Phillipe Herreweghe, Barbican Hall with Adrian Leaper, Queen Elizabeth Hall with David Josefowitz and Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center with Alexander Schneider. Her many recitals have taken her to Cardiff’s St David’s Hall, the London Palladium, the Purcell Room, the Swaledale and Ryedale Festivals, and the Dartington Festival where, in addition to master classes and solo recitals, she performed as soloist with the Dartington Festival Orchestra under the baton of Diego Masson. Miriam’s debut recital at London’s prestigious Wigmore Hall drew further praise from the critics. STRAD magazine stated, “The intensity and rich allure of Kramer’s performance was nothing short of spellbinding.” A re-engagement with great success followed. Miriam has broadcasted with the BBC Concert Orchestra as a soloist in the Beethoven Triple Concerto on Classic FM, Radio 3, Radio Prague, Paris Radio Classique, and BBC-TV, to name a few…

We greatly appreciated the superb contribution you and the other members of your quartet made to enhance our daughter’s wedding yesterday. We are indebted to you. We know how much our guests enjoyed the music, and we have received so many favourable comments from family and friends. I feel sure you will be hearing again soon from some of them seeking your services for their weddings, etc. My wife and I, therefore, wish to thank you all very much for your expert performances.
We are still floating. Thank you all so much for making the chuppah so special. Everybody said it was the most beautiful chuppah they had been to, and nearly everyone was in tears.
Thank you for making their wedding so fantastic. They asked me to tell you how thrilled they were on the day and still are. All the guests talked about the beautiful music and said it was just wonderful—magical!

WeddingYour playing is so powerful that, on occasion, it sent shivers up my spine, surely the test of any performer!
