Genuinely I think this is the most beautiful version of this piece I've ever heard.

[@raleighfagerhaug7386]

Such a remarkable journey Mojo, Lian, Jeff, and Hongjin! It's inspirational to see you all play with such sensitivity and care. Colin and Anne - they clearly all had great leadership to look up to over these years. 😊 Great work everyone!

Good Lord that was beautiful!

[@briansokoloff2434]

Just brilliant.

[@oscarlepeley2234]

Very beautiful, good job.

[@Mr-Prasguerman]

VÍDEO NOVOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattheweeuwes7966]

Masking Madness. Hopefully one day soon you'll be able to perform this without the ridiculous University of Rochester 'health' code. Great job to all the musicians involved.

[@saxplayingcompnerd]

Agreed. Seeing this should be a wake up call that it it clearly about obedience. Not science. Hint: you can tell by the giant holes.

[@jazzzzdude]

Why are they wearing masks? Obviously someone doesn't know how masks work!

[@marcdeckard7064]

Funny how old Claude didn't like saxophones. Saxophones can mimic most orchestral instruments.

[@jazzzzdude]

I wonder if the person who made them wear masks wears a woolen crash helmet.

[@GreenTea4]

ok, what's the point of wearing masks if their mouth is exposed? beautiful performance, but I cringed so hard when I saw the thumbnail :D

[@saxplayingcompnerd]

All persons must pass the obedience test and maintain a visual reminder to themselves and others to maintain a state of psychosis.

[@rishardlampese8947]

So excellent (except for the ridiculous unnecessary masks of course).
