The Sacramento Magazine
"Her magnificence in piano is complete and sustaining… A remarkable, rare and thrilling performance. Her beautiful interpretation… which each phrase was distinctly crafted by someone who felt the music throughout her body… produced amazing volume contrasted by a soft poignant echo made the audience sat frozen in disbelief"
Pacifica Tribune
"Myrna committed herself to the project of performing, nay, championing one of my piano works like no other musician I have ever worked with. She made the piece (my Etude Op. 1, No. 10) her own by learning it inside and out and rendering it at the piano with virtuosic flair and skill. It has been a pleasure—a composer's dream—working with her. She is a brilliant pianist and has proven herself to have an open mind for pioneering uncharted territory in the piano literature. At the time of this writing she is working on another piece of mine, which I can hardly wait to hear. I give her my highest recommendation as a pianist!"
