"I wanted to thank you and the rest of the quintet for the beautiful playing this past Friday evening. The quintet helped to transform the Shabbat experience into something quite extraordinary.”

     North Shore Congregation Israel
“The organizers could have done no better than selecting the Sapphire Woodwind Quintet, a group of talented women who clearly have a rapport with children and know how to talk to them in a way that ... introduces kids (of all ages) to the wonders of music. … Kids, parents, and even curmudgeons like myself, left the Hyde Park Art Center with smiles on their faces and a bounce in their steps.”          

     -   M.L. Rantala, Classical Music Critic,
        5/25/08 “Mostly Music" performance



"Simply put, it was truly a great experience to be swept away by the Sapphire Winds last evening. ... an apparent alchemy of intricate and delicate notes dissolving together so as to beautifully fill the space surrounding - and the soul - with such an elegance."
