In addition to a three-week tour of Japan and South Korea and performances in England, their concerts have included guest appearances with the Kenosha Symphony, the DuPage Symphony, the Bel Canto Chorus, the West Suburban Choral Union and Orchestra, and the Sullivan Chamber Ensemble.

“..a union of spirit, gesture and virtuosity....hand in glove ensemble playing...fluid phrasing captured the music’s mood to perfection.... Decisive, flavorful, faultlessly transparent no matter how dense the textures or tangled the rhythms, this Bartok bore the stamp of finished musicianship.” Lawrence B. Johnson, Milwaukee Sentinel
“It was a beautiful concert – I stand in envy of how well you play while communicating the musical ideas with such conviction.” Kenneth Drake, professor emeritus, University of Illinois
