"Phenomenal...a magnificent performance."

~ Harvard University

"The performances was superb, the dramatically spoken story, the music and scenery charmed its sophisticated audience...it was as satisfying as a well-produced opera."

~ Princeton University

"...Psyche and Eros is like being told a great story with musical accompaniment or hearing a wonderful piece of music made more engaging by a narrator."

~ San Francisco Classical Voice

"...her whole self becomes enmeshed in whatever myth she is telling, every movement, every expression, every word was as if the spirit of that myth was encompassed in her body, speaking through her. It was really a spiritual feeling really, one not easily explainable."

~ Barnes and Noble
