As someone who has been to a number of concerts Chris has conducted
with the Ridgewood Concert Band, I have to add that Chris is a gifted
musician and a gifted conductor.  The results he obtains from an
amateur wind ensemble rival those of many professional groups and,
more to the point, the results he gets are invariably sensitive and
musical, never just a dry reading of the notes.
