Testimonials
“We were particularly entertained by a first-time visitor, Matthew Fisher, who played marvelously, and without his own pistons! Young Matthew came to us from Knoxville, where he has just been named Assistant Organist at the Tennessee Theatre. Many members who heard him play remarked, ‘We need to have that young man back for a program,’ a sentiment that the Chamber Mouse joins” – Atlanta ATOS Chamber Mouse
