St. Louis Post-Dispatch“…along with the orchestra, hit some of the sweetest high notes ever played.”
Aspen Times“Anthony produced rich, lush sounds in the low register, lovely cantilena in the middle and ascended into the highest reaches of the violin’s range with accuracy and purity.”
The Grand Rapids Press“She played with a singing tone, polished arpeggios, sturdy double stops. Anthony added a measure of voltage as she took it up a notch with each return of the melody. Her standing ovation was deserved.”
Charleston City Paper“Even at the top of her instrument’s register, her silvery tone never went thin or shrill. In the quieter moments, there was a bewitching delicacy to her playing, and her varied and intermittently “weepy” vibrato melted the hardest hearts (and ears).”
