Lauderdale String Quartet of the Symphony of the Americas "The Symphony of The Americas "family" is made of wonderful people. They all made me feel so welcome ever since a few summers ago I got "kept" here after being part of the orchestra's summer cultural exchange. SOTA is a brilliantly run, efficient and reliable organization which I'm thrilled to be now part of. We have the most wonderful audience of aficionados who are not shy to express out loud their appreciation and make us feel great on stage!"
