“Young string players’ talent stirs elders’ emotions” and “Musicians offer sweet inspiration.” Chicago Tribune (1/31/06)

“I’ve been working with SugarStrings as a producer for over a year now and have enjoyed watching them mature as talented musicians. At my annual 2006 Martin Luther King Peace Jam concert, they opened for jazz vocalist Rachelle Ferrell and saxophonist Kirk Whalum. Even though it was a jazz concert, the children, who played classical music, received a standing ovation and encores.” Lawrence D. Whitman, President/CEO, Whitman & Associates

“Thank you so much for participating in CCM’s [Chicago Chamber Musicians] Family Concert recently. We loved having you and the Sugar Strings – and so did the audience! It was so wonderful to see the crowd of kids and adults surrounding the quartet. You guys were a big hit!” Margo Schwartz Newton, Chicago Chamber Musicians

“We are tremendously appreciative of your participation in our fourth annual Meeting The HistoryMakers: A Day of Education symposium…From the preliminary review of evaluation forms from Lunch Music Session, all the [high school] students raved about the brilliant performance and left inspired to learn more. You guys were GREAT!!” Julieanna L. Richardson, Founder & Executive Director, The HistoryMakers
