REVIEWS

"…it was our pleasure to go hear you play in Canton. We enjoyed every piece you played and were impressed with your artistry, interpretation, and technique. Thank you, so much, for playing two of my hymn arrangements. As I mentioned to you last evening, it was a joy to hear them performed in your hands! … Thank you for making them sound so good!" - Robert Vandall, composer
