Rick Phillips [was] superb! An enlightening, charming, engaging experience all around. I learned so much from him, as did we all. Rick’s knowledge is legion, his delivery awesome, and his classroom management skills second to none. Being able to actually see and hear the performances [at the Toronto Summer Music Festival concert] transported us all.
Melanie is excellent, not just as discussion leader and moderator, but also in many areas above and beyond that role: facilitator, mother hen, liaison with local resources, chief cat-herder, logistics genius, perennial friendly face.
“This seminar [was] perhaps the best one I’ve taken at Classical Pursuits. [Leaders] Denise and JJ were great and really established a nice, fun environment — there were a lot of laughs and a lot of learning. And the book [Tristram Shandy], wow! What a wonderful piece of art.”
