“An outstanding talent"
 
   —Ernie Santosuosso, the Boston Globe

“A wonderfully talented pianist. [Her playing is] sensitively hued and deftly intuitive.” 
     —Ron della Chiesa, WGBH Radio 

“She tackles a group of chestnuts by such composers as Gershwin, Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hammerstein, managing to make them sound fresh and new.”  

     —Bob McCollough, the Boston Globe
