Meng Su
Clarke Recital Hall, University of Miami 5501 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables, FL, United States“Here we have a guitarist who knew how to laugh with the music and share the joke with his audience. But behind the entertainer lies a serious artist, whose extended composition in memory of Jana Obrovska proved fully capable of stirring emotions at the other end of the scale. Never was a standing ovation more richly deserved. Pavel Steidl had won the hearts and minds of a capacity crowd.” - Classical Guitar Magazine

Patterson/Sutton Duo
Clarke Recital Hall, University of Miami 5501 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables, FL, United States"Both of these musicians played with a great deal of excitement and spirit, and their sense of ensemble was well-nigh perfect. It was absolutely gorgeous playing. They played so very well together, their dynamics and phrasing were so good… the musical world needs performers such as these two." — Opus Colorado
