“The notion behind Pro Musicis is a simple but daring one. On the one hand, the organization aims to give talented young musicians the boost they need to build major performing careers.

Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall

“Ms. Merdinian was ‘in the zone.’ The energy she radiated filled the hall and fired an already enthusiastic audience. Her voice was hauntingly beautiful.

Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall

“Weill Hall was the venue for yet another fine offering from Pro Musicis, featuring soprano Rachel Schutz. … Sincerity is the word that I believe best describes Ms. Schutz’s approach. … Her virtuosity was indisputable and made quite an impression on this listener … The audience rewarded Ms. Schutz with a well-deserved standing ovation. Let’s take a moment to offer kudos to the excellent pianist Timothy Long, who was an outstanding collaborator and a force in his own right.” —Jeffrey Williams for New York Concert Review
