"The Crosswinds Trio concert for us was a great
success. We were very
pleased not only with their performance but with the significant pre-
concert communication regarding program details, etc. Not only were
they outstandingly talented artists, they were very comfortable on-
stage with our audience and all had a great sense of humor. Program
selections were audience pleasers. They also received a standing
ovation for the performance of "Figaro, Figaro..." just prior to the
close of the first half of their performance. Well done. We would
definitely consider them again for a future return to Wolfeboro"

“The Crosswinds Trio is very special indeed. The personal individuality is special and the musicianship extraordinary. The balance between performing as a group yet highlighting each individual is excellent. The repertoire that was presented showed the ability to perform varying styles of music with ease which satisfied individual tastes. Your commentary about the group and the music enhanced the program tremendously and gave the audience an opportunity to see you as individuals rather than just people on the stage. As a group and as individuals you performed extremely well showing your talents and wonderful musical sensitivity. Thank you for a wonderful performance.”

"Lancaster (Pennsylvania) Community Concert Association greatly enjoyed a concert on May 11, 2005. The program was the perfect mix of classical pieces and popular American works, thus meeting the tastes of most of our 1,500 patrons. With interesting and sometimes humorous introductions, the audience enjoyed both the personalities and the quality of the music presented. Plus, three musicians with talent and a good program can realize a successful concert in a far more affordable way than a large orchestra."

"The Crosswinds Trio recently did an outstanding job at our worship service, both with their performance pieces and playing along on the hymns. I would highly recommend them to any church. Our church members loved the way their instruments wove together and became part of the service and have described them as "inspirational", "brilliant", and "uplifting".

"The Blessed Jazz Vespers program was a wonderful juxtaposition of scripture and musical selections. The arrangements for this unique instrumentation of trumpet, horn and piano were outstanding and the musicianship of the three performers was first class, sensitive and sensuous. The concert concluded with the audience wishing for more"

Dear Friends,
It is with great enthusiasm I recommend the Crosswinds Trio to your community. This gifted group recently used their music to lead our church community for our two Sunday services. Their music and leadership was greatly appreciated!
They led with spirited hymn music as well as creative anthems and performance offerings. The theme of the day accentuated a more Jazz-type genre, but they displayed their ability to lead in multiple musical expressions. In addition, they were accommodating and flexible in weaving their music leadership into the whole fabric of our worship experience.
You can be sure we will invite them to share their gift of music leadership again and again!
In Christ’s Joyful Service,

"The Crosswinds Trio was the musical dessert for our gourmet Luncheon with Il Maestro at the Stanton Ridge Country Club on June 11, 2006. All the members of the Friends of the Red Mill said it was a most enjoyable virtuoso performance by talented musicians Lawrence Kursar, and his cohorts. Your generous performance was appreciated and enjoyed by everyone. They raved!"

"This is a dream come true for our church to have the Crosswinds Trio come to our church and share their talents, faith, and fellowship during dinner. Not only are they professional and so musically talented, they are down to earth, people people and very social with the audience. The interaction during the program with the readings as well as singing was awesome. Can't wait to book them again!"
