“Susan’s attention to and knowledge of musical styles, along with her technical articulation, be it in the orchestra pit, at the keyboard, in a classroom or rehearsal setting, has always proved to be exhilarating, imaginative, and stylized.  Her musical tastes, and musicianship are impeccable, as are her abilities to accompany and choose/recommend repertoire suitable and challenging for ALL voices.   Her ability to draw performances out of her artists makes Susan a rare bread of musician, performer, coach and master programmer.”    David Pittsinger, bass-baritone
