The following is an example of the response that Mr. Elizondo’s lectures have received:

Mr. Elizondo is an excellent speaker who knows how to engage his audience. He has a charming sense of humor and is a treasure-trove of knowledge on history, culture and music. He was able to relay his vast knowledge to the audience in a concise and interesting way and the audience was eager to learn more. The result of Mr. Elizondo’s participation in this special “Meet the Composers“ segment of our music series was a deeply committed audience during the concert performances, an audience with an understanding of the music, and above all, with an enthusiasm that was unmatched in our previous concert series.
