“Clarinettist and comedian Christopher Hall unveiled the inner working of the orchestra from A to Z, and the audience laughed throughout the evening.”
— Michel Bédard, Québec Hebdo
The audience of 1300 laughed uproariously all evening. And the most surprising thing was that at the end of the program, Hall played the entire Mozart clarinet concerto like a first-rate soloist.
— Claude Gingras, La Presse
Un vrai régal! Une réelle virtuosité qui se drape de légèreté d'esprit. Un musicien accompli qui badine avec sa clarinette. Une telle désinvolture n'est permise qu'avec une grande maîtrise artistique. Et elle est là! On rit, on s'amuse, on apprend, mais le désir d'entendre encore la clarinette reste toujours intense.
— Gilles, un spectateur comblé
