Dear Denice,
I had such a great time performing in Ithaca and presenting the
workshop 'just do it'.
Crossing Borders provided a very nurturing ground for my music. Great
sound combined with a beautiful ambience gave us a save space to go
into deep musical realms. Thanks for broadcasting this intimate
experience and making it available to a broader audience.

Dear Denice,
More people need to know of your huge contribution to the cultural and
musical life of this community. There are performers from every part of
the musical spectrum coming to our little town because of you and your
show. And the show is free on the radio--what an incredible thing! Your
commitment to bringing music that is off the beaten track and artists who
defy category really broadens and enriches us all. I am honored to have
been a performer on Crossing Borders and I look forward to another
opportunity in the future. Thanks for the great music and engaging
interviews, Denice, week after week--you really are one of the folks who
walks the talk!
Very best to you.

We found the experience of playing on Crossing Borders to be fun, the
staff was supportive and professional, the audience was appreciative and
attentive and the host..of course..is awesome! We have also enjoyed both
attending and listening to many excellent, high quality shows by other wonderful
artists and feel very strongly that the show is in fact an asset to the
community and it's support of the arts (and simply for excellent quality
entertainment)

Crossing Borders is a unique entity in a culturally progressive region well
known for it's musical richness. Denice does an amazing job of featuring
musicians from around the world (literally!) and around the corner, frequently
collaborating with each other and making history in the process. My experiences
as a guest host have been some of the most satisfying gigs ever!

Crossing Borders is a real community treasure. I can think of no other local
radio offering that has the capacity to forge common ground, understanding and
just plain good vibes. Producer Denice Karamardian has done a stellar job
bringing our local, national and international communities together; something
sorely needed in this day and age of rabid
politics, endless war and fractured human relationships.
-Tish Pearlman, Host/Producer "Out of Bounds" radio show
Crossing Borders is an amazing series with such a groovy eclectic mix of
music (and musicians). I applaud you and the rest of the crew for bringing
these musicians into our homes.
Having said that, it probably is an incredible amount of work holding it
together and I really admire you for all that you have done with it.
-Kristen Park
Thank-you as always so much for bringing some of the most inspiring music I've
ever heard to town!
