“This was chamber music of the highest order. . .[and] proves that Uzur’s brainchild has the makings of a great addition to the Beehive State’s festival scene.” (Ed Reichel,Deseret Morning News)

"To hear Beethoven’s music performed live, by seasoned musicians, is to understand why it stands the test of time — fire and fury and delicacy in turns, it’s all there waiting to be discovered by such capable hands. The audience gave this piece a standing ovation, and rightfully so….It was satisfying to see the seats nearly all filled in the Browning Center’s Allred Theater... (Linda East Brady,Standard Examiner)
