(Westboro, MA)

Comments from residents of the Worcester Secure Boys Unit following a concert by Sarasa. (September 2006)

I would like to take the time to thank you for taking the time to come up here to play for us. I was in a bad mood but after you played I felt in a better space then I was, so thank you and hope to see you again. Thanks - Chris

I think the instruments and classical music that you performed for us was wonderful and education at the same time. The music you sang for us made me feel free to a certain extent. Thank you for letting me show you my talents. - Drake

The music was unbelievable. It took a lot of stress off of me and helped me relax in a way I havn't for a long time. Thank you very much for coming. - Josh

First I want to thank all of you for coming. The music was very soothing. I felt at ease and calm like I was by myself with no cares in the world. Your coices the instruments you played and the array on different assortments of music was lovely and beautiful. I appreciated every moment of it. - Patrick

I would like to thank you for coming to play the music for us and I hope you come again. - Detwan

Loved it!!! Loved IT!! I was the resident wearing the read and black outfit. But that's beside the point. I never seen opera in my life, and you added another feeling for music and the gift I saw in the day room. Please come back...Please!

Thank you for coming. Also the female singer had a beautiful voice. I hope you guys come back. The beats and every thing else was great. Thank you please come back.

Thank you guys for coming the music you guys played was great and I really enjoyed it and I hope you guys come back. - Sam

Thank you for coming it made me feel a little happier. Also relax because of all the treatment work I been doing made me overwhelm. -Ty

Thank you for coming I liked the music and it gave me a new outlook on it. From the sports agent, Anthony

I thought at first it wasn't going to be good. Ok interesting. But I was surprised at how good it was. I never heard anyone sing like that in real life. I also enjoyed the piano, cello, and recorder. But my favorite was the drum. I was amazed at the different sound it could make. I enjoyed it and hope you all could come back soon. Sincerely, Anthony

I had a good feeling about the bank from the beginning because I interest in akinds of music. You all have the unique skill and keep working tenaciously. - Brandon

Hi this is Nick, the very big black kid. Well I loved your stuff. It is something I learned that I really like. I wish I can do it. But please come up again. Thank you.

Today a bank came. I felt like laughing when I heard them. I felt kinda good after I kept listening. They make me feel relaxed I haven't felt relaxed in a long time I was always tense every minute of my life not since I was born, but the majority of it. They played really well. I like them. There really cool. I think they impact people. I never listened to classical music. They played songs that made me feel calm. I could feel the emotions from the songs. It made me understand that music isn't always about being cool, but finding inner peace with myself. I hope they come again. - Juan, back row, black and white shirt
