Laura isaacson is an immensely gifted cellist who studied with me for 2 years at the Juilliard School. During that time she showed herself to be a cellist with tremendous artistic personality and talent. She has a wonderful sound, a keen sense of beauty, and a facile technique. I have heard her in concert on several occasions and she always performs with panache.

This reference is on behalf of Laura Isaacson, a very talented and accomplished young cellist who studied with me as an undergraduate at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y.
Ms Isaacson is a performer with great flair, intensity and fluency. She has got a fine warm sound, strikes musical sparks in intense moments, and has an enviable natural freedom and ease at the cello. I have great confidence in her future and recommend her to you with great warmth and enthusiasm.
