“…Not only are you amongst the finest musicians, you are first class people. This is what I believe to be the meaning of success...”
Nebojsa Jovan Zivkovic, Composer/Percussionist
“...This is one of the better performances of my trio I have heard so far. I loved the tempi, the energy, and it is synchronized well for my taste.”
Dr. Paula Holcomb, Director of Bands, State University of New York at Fredonia
“...Volta Trio delivered in every way both on and off the stage, as their performance was captivating, commanding and passionate while their demeanor was first class professional! They were extremely well prepared, knew where they wanted to take the musical phrases, and lead the performance. The audience was on their feet immediately! In addition, they related to the ensemble with respect while their correspondence was prompt, courteous and succinct. I highly recommend the Trio without any reservation as they will immediately command your attention first through their inspiring performance but also through their open, personal style!”
Jennifer Bellor, Composer
"...Thank you all again for performing On Tap! I received so much positive feedback about your performance...Many were really impressed with how well you guys worked together, and I hope you get more opportunities to perform it and your other rep in the future!"
Dr. Petar Kodzas, Professor of Guitar - Eastman School of Music and Eastman Community Music School
"...I wanted to congratulate and thank you for a fantastic performance at The Strong National Museum of Play. Your program was perfectly adjusted to the audience and your communication was very appropriate for the younger age group. Your performance was stunning, combining high level artistry with humor. You presented relevant musical concepts in a way that children were able to understand and appreciate."
Mr. Ari Contzius, Director of Bands, Washingtonville High School
“…Volta Trio is a group you must see. Their captivating performance kept my students in amazement from first note to last. Their diverse performance skills and flawless technique made for an energetic show that kept us wanting more. As soon as the first piece began, Chris, Jonny and Erik became one with the music both physically and emotionally. Beyond their professional caliber of musicianship, their warm personalities made a personal connection with the audience. I am certain that the Volta Trio will be making their mark in the percussion world!”
Mr. Alan Jachimiak, Director of Bands, Wallkill Senior High School
“…These three percussionists are dedicated to their art. Each member is virtuoso in his own right. Conventional keyboard percussion and drumming are handled with ease and musicality. You can also expect experience fluency in all musical styles - from world music through contemporary works. Volta Trio is definitely an innovative addition to the percussion world.”
Mr. Ralph Schroer, Director of Bands, New Paltz Senior High School
"...Thank you for the fantastic program you brought to my students. Your playing was absolutely first rate! I appreciated the programming of music by international, as well as American composers. Your works presented a great diversity of percussion sounds and colors. In addition to the performance, the time spent with my students on our music was very helpful. The three of you provided a real wealth of information to my students on many aspects of playing."
