from “The New York Times”

“She manages to bring world cultures home....to stretch familiar images into fresh perspectives...presenting landscapes that we already know but that are transformed by unusual palettes.”

Paul Taub, Flutist & Executive Director, Seattle Chamber Players

“Amy is someone who is able to draw a very diverse public into the world of contemporary music and creative process She is equally adept at engaging an audience at a small festival in rural Washington State, young impressionable students at Cornish, and the sophisticated audience at Benaroya Hall. She has a knack for creative interactive situations with an audience, involving them in the creative process with enthusiasm, verve and spirit.”

Asociacion Dominicana de Academicos Fulbright


“Your piano concert, “Music from Jazz Sources” touched every one who had the opportunity to hear your brilliant interpretations of the American composer George Gershwin and the Brazilian Egberto Gismonti. Your own compositions reflected your inner strength, pervasive feelings and your love of beauty and human kind. We hope you many continue to spread world understanding through the international language of music."

from “Fanfare”

“free and fearless in her ability to synthesize different materials, open and fluent in her use of various media.”
