Performer of Music

Dora Ohrenstein: "I can't imagine a better performer for these works than yourself! These are pieces made for you."

Emil Adler: "I've got a surprise for you -- I love your voice! I sincerely think your music is exquisitely communicated by you."

Joshua Fried: "The combo of your more rock-folk vocals with the more scored, 'classical' material was disarming and refreshing. By doing it a cappella you really throw this contrast in our faces - er, ears - and I liked that a lot."
