"Camerata New England ... is always outstanding. ...a performance that exceeded even the highest expectations." (The Complete Hoot)
"The program was outstanding ... but it was the execution of the program that made the day so special. And the fact that [their] mission is to bring this music to schools and community centers, in addition to concert-goers, makes this group a valued addition to our community. ... I highly recommend that anyone with a chance to go to their next set of concerts makes a determined effort to attend. Your day will be uplifted along with your spirits." (Jean & Bill Brown, Valley News)
"I had high expectations, but not this high: over three months after Camerata New England performed works of J.S. Bach in our hall, patrons still approach me to rave about the concert and to ask when you will return. They were simply awestruck by the energy, vitality, and musicianship of your group. The word I’ve most commonly heard patrons use to describe the concert is “exciting,” and I completely agree. ... The players, standing on stage and moving to the music, were closely attuned both to each other and to the listeners. It was the best experience with classical music I could imagine for our rural Central Massachusetts audience." (Sean Hunley, Cultural Center at Eagle Hill)

"Performing as the Camerata New England Piano Quintet are Alice Hallstrom and Joshua Peckins, violins; Linda Galvan, cello; Peter Sulski, viola; and Evelyn Zuckerman, piano. Each is a remarkable solo and ensemble performer with an extensive national and international reputation." (The Colebrook Chronicle)
"When we moved to the Upper Valley in 2001, our friends in the Boston area openly questioned how we would get along, knowing our strong interest in music. ... A recent Friday, however, was the best. Camerata New England gave a truly exquisite program of Russian music, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, in the Lebanon Opera House. I can only ... spread the word that this group is not to be missed!" (Lola Baldwin, Valley News)
"Thanks ... for a truly inspiring concert last Friday night in Whitefield. We were so taken by the level of professionalism, talent, and enthusiasm--and were truly moved by the whole experience. I sat in the concert and wept, not just for the beauty of the music, but for the generosity of time and effort to bring such an incredible opportunity to the North Country. The entire project is overwhelming to me for all that you have brought and (care enough to) continue to bring to us." (Christine Charman, Upper Connecticut Valley Community Coalition)

"The new venue at Sacred Heart served them well, with outstanding acoustics. From presto to andante, from pianissimo arpeggios to expert trills, the musicians of the Octet were outstanding, uniformly. Camerata New England provided a concert as fine as any in the urban venues of our East Coast, a fact that the generous supporters listed in the program have obviously known for a long time. We are now, happily, among their devotees." (Jo Evarts, The Complete Hoot)
"On behalf of the GNWCA, I wanted to express our thanks for bringing Camerata New England to Colebrook. I know that everyone in attendance was simply thrilled with the evening's performance." (Bette Guerin, Great North Woods Committee for the Arts)
