Our thanks to the staff and students at Good Shepherd Montessori School for sharing their reactions to the trio’s presentation:
I think the concert was really, really awesome. I liked the piano the most.
-Teo
I noticed the violinist and cellist were very twitchy when they played. Their music was very pretty.
-Lucy
It was really good. I really liked the performance. They are amazing musicians.
-Edward
I enjoyed the violinist’s interesting arm movements. I really liked the first piece they played. I liked the concert a lot.
-Eamin
I really liked how the trio included the cello, violin, and piano. Those are the instruments we have lessons for here at our school. I liked how after each piece they talked about it. I really enjoyed it. I’m glad I went.
-Grace
It was really cool. Being a fellow cellist, watching a master at work was very intriguing.
-Noah
The fastest song was really awesome. All the songs were really cool. I play the piano too and I liked the piano part a lot.
-Jakob
It was pretty fun listening to the music. Some of the music was very sudden, with a big booming sound.
-Liam
I liked how the pianist could go very fast. I also play the piano and I thought that the last song was really cool because all the musicians were going very fast.
-Jonathon
I thought it was great. My favorite part was the song that went really fast. I’ve never seen a concert like that up close. The musicians were really good.
-Kyle
They were very coordinated and very talented.
-Ben
The N-E-W Trio, 2008 Fischoff Competition Grand Prize Winner and Gold Medalist, Senior String Division, returned to the area April 8 -12, to present concerts and masterclasses at the University of Notre Dame and Culver Academies.

Martin Short has proven his ability as a comedic chameleon through his host of hilarious impressions. With the tremendous exposure he gained on “Saturday Night Live,” he was on the Hollywood fast track and quickly crossed over into feature film work. Short made his big screen debut in “Three Amigos,” where he worked alongside former “Saturday Night Live” colleagues Chevy Chase and Steve Martin. Currently, Short is the voice of Cat in the Hat in the “Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!” for the PBS series based on Dr. Seuss’s famous children’s book for which he has also been nominated for an Emmy.

Fischoff’s award-winning quintet, Arundo Donax, will also perform with Martin Short during the show.
Proceeds from An Evening with Martin Short support Fischoff’s efforts to provide free world-class music encounters to more than 6,500 Michiana children and youth this year. Because of his belief in the work and mission of the Fischoff, this performance is Mr. Short’s gift to the Fischoff and our community.
