“The Great Hall of the Kohl Mansion in Burlingame is a perfect venue for chamber music,… projecting beautiful musical sounds into every nook and cranny of this architectural masterpiece.”

“This year’s series has been one of the highlights of my musical year - which includes S.F. Opera, S.F. Symphony, Symphony chamber concerts, etc. Keep up this exceptional presentation.”

" . . . [the Kohl series] offers an unusual range of repertoire and a broad range of experience. Reliable veterans share a season with semi-unknowns, and the series is the richer for it. The series is sited in a faux-Tudor manor (owned by the Sisters of Mercy) and concludes every night with a fancy reception. Even so, they take great pains to de-snootify any sense of occasion and draws everyone into this music for its own sake."
Charles Barber, San Francisco Classical Voice
