"I call on Heidi and Joel to accomplish a tremendous task: to dissolve the barriers that exist between teens from Hartford and teens from rural Connecticut...it's magical to see these teens that arrived on two separate buses from entirely different environments come together over a drumming session or to practice juggling...Heidi and Joel are amazing people and excellent role models for teens to look up to." Michelle Rawcliffe, YMCA, Camp Woodstock
"Matica's performance was raucous and good natured, alternately exciting their audience and calming them with music. The children were delighted by the vast array of exotic instruments and, without knowing it, got a terrific geography lesson. We would happily welcome Matica back to Hartford Public Library again and we encourage other libraries to have them."
Auden di-Corcia-D'Adamato,
Children's Librarian, Hartford Public Library
