What Audiences Are Saying About Citypieces
“[Kapilow] exudes a lot of energy, and you can tell he really likes what he does. He can go on and on about music. And it’s just really nice to see a person who loves what they do.” — teenage participant, quoted in Washington Times
“I was literally moved to tears by the small portion of the work I heard that morning. I believe we need to learn how to celebrate our cities and take care of them and their inhabitants.” — message board posting re: D.C. Citypiece
An NPR “Driveway Moment”: "I was spellbound by the story ‘Rob Kapilow’s ‘03’ on All Things Considered (April 30th). I sat mesmerized in the parking lot at work, then stayed for several minutes afterwards trying to absorb what I had heard. That evening, I took it all in again on npr.org. ... Rob Kapilow’s unbridled enthusiasm for his project comes through in every ebullient word. His beautiful music relays the story of the Louisiana Purchase in a very unique way. I found the mixing of this important American history lesson with music and poetic quotations to be an amazing amalgam. No history professor could have made the Louisiana Purchase more relevant than Rob Kapilow did at that moment.” — suggested by Julie, who listens to KJZZ in Phoenix
“I really enjoyed your session and I think you are better than Britney Spears.” — 12-year-old workshop participant in Louisiana
