Dear Supreme Master
Ching Hai:
I
wanted to express to You my sincere appreciation in being given
the opportunity to coproduce the recent "One World...of Peace
through Music" benefit concert at the Shrine Auditorium in
Los Angeles. It was a wonderful experience to meet You. You have
given so graciously and selflessly to so many people in need throughout
the world. The Earth is a better place because of the impact that
You have had on thousands of people.
I
have spoken to the many talented performers and composers who
took part in this festive evening. Everyone agreed that it was
not only a very successful evening for everyone involved, all
agreed that it was one of those rare once-in-a-lifetime memorable
moments that will always be fondly remembered.
Composer
Bill Conti's wife told me that this was the best orchestra that
she had ever heard him conduct. It must be remembered that he
has conducted his movie and TV music with world-class orchestras
when traveling around the world. Other people in the audience,
who are regular subscribers to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, told
me that this was the best orchestra they had ever heard.
During
the reception after the concert, several people had said that
this concert was like attending the famous Academy Awards. In
addition to
being impressed with the great talent, many had expressed their
awe of the beauty of the stage sets.
I
have been performing in and working with concerts of all kinds
since 1966 and I must say that this benefit concert was one of
the greatest highlights of my career. It was a great pleasure
to work with some of the talented, kind and hard-working individuals
in the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association. You have a marvelous group of people
in Your organization. They are truly some of the kindest people
that I have ever had the honor with whom to work.
May God continue
to bless You with Your many talents and Your humanitarian efforts.
Wishing You a wonderful New Year!
Sincerely
Yours,
Larry
