Cleveland May 2015
Thanks for a fantastic lively
performance. The students had a
wonderful time.
From
(Music
Coordinator), St. Helen's Girls School, Northwood
Ricardo,
Just
to say we thought your playing was fantastic yesterday. It was
amazing to hear all the different styles. The maracas playing was
an inspiration to all the girls and I would love to be able to
play them like that too!
Thank
you once again for coming early too.
Hope
to meet you again soon.
Gill
(St. Helen's)
From
(Music Coordinator), John F.
Kennedy Special School, London
Dear Ricardo,
Thank
you once again for coming to play for us.
Almost without exception the students thoroughly enjoyed
your performances, from those with the most profound difficulties,
to the small groups of mainstream boys from Rokeby School next
door – and of course the staff!
The
variety of moods you created with the harp, cuatro, maracas and
vocals kept everyone interested, if not fascinated.
As you saw, the students loved accompanying your rhythms
with their own movements, clapping and vocals.
Also, allowing them to explore the harp afterwards was a
real winner, especially as it is an instrument most would never
have encountered and certainly not heard being played in this way.
The expressions on the faces in the enclosed photos, I think, tell
it all.
We
do hope you will be able to visit us again some time.
With
Best Wishes,

PROFESSIONAL
ARTISTS / PERFORMERS
From Joanna Migdal
Dear Ricardo,
We hope you got back safely and with speed.
Thank you for making our evening so very memorable and creating
such a special atmosphere...deep quiet listening
is so rare in an audience these days...I think your perfect
playing took everyone’s breath away...thank you, thank you for
all those years of practice that have made it all seem so easy and
delightful on the night.
We hope very, very much to see you again soon. I will write to
Julian Hubbersguilt in the New Year and
tell him what a great success our evening was.
With all the sunniest wishes for Christmas and the New Year
George and Joanna
From Professor Guitarist David
Caswell
I have shared several successful
concerts with multitalented Ricardo Curbelo...
From
Russian Poet/Playwright, Noskou
Ricardo,
I was very much impressed
with
your music, especially with your original compositions in which I
find a combination of creativity, discipline and emotion we rarely
find in our
times.
Today we can find many artists technically brilliant but
with a lack of emotions,
or too emotional, but with the absence of skills. In your case, I
feel I am completely happy with your music and performance ...
From
Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter, Kai Jansen
...His
poetic realism I have always admired...

Ricardo really added some star quality to a client event that we
recently held in Covent Garden.
He
gauged the mood of our clientele perfectly and responded accordingly.
The event was a huge success and I was delighted
that
Ricardo was there to play an integral part.
From Jeff, on behalf of event Organizers, St Margaret's
House. London:
Dear
Ricardo,
It
is with many thanks that I write this short note to convey the
appreciation of others and myself for your visit to the garden
party and the tremendous performance which you gave. There is
something extra special about the harp for all people around the
world and you brought this special angel to dwell in the
garden, and we miss you; and we want you to be there every morning,
but unfortunately, like all precious and extremely valuable things,
they
are
very rare and we must wait and pray for next year.
Best
regards from Jeff.
