Greg Hines, NDK Director

“…I enjoyed listening to the SAO. They only played for about 45 minutes and I found myself disappointed that the concert didn’t last longer.”

Dylan Otto Krider, The Buzz

“…Vedder does an amazing job of adapting pop songs for the orchestra without sounding like elevator music.”

Jonathan Peltzer, Oboe

“SAO is my favorite event at the convention. It gives me the opportunity to collaborate and create something much greater than any of the individual participants, something we can be proud to share with friends and strangers alike.”

Gary Messick, NDK attendee

"It was a great show. The music was awesome and so fun though. I hope they play again next year!"
