‘…unforced, thoughtful artistry’ 
Times-Union, Rochester, NY

‘Ms. Sobolewski’s work was exceptional in every way.  Her playing was masterful and artistic, and her masterclass was equally enlightening. Her comments were both insightful and instructional and were very clearly and simply put forth with warmth and humor.’ 
University of Wisconsin-Madison

‘…the performance combines nostalgia with wit, insouciance, and sensuality.’
Society News Review of CD American Composers Piano Works

‘Your presentation at “Brunch with Bach” was masterful.  Many thanks for a very enriching program.’
Detroit Institute of Arts

‘The writing in the quartet of movements that comprise the Schubert Fantasie is dense at times; now thrilling, now peaceful, with massive chords juxtaposed with melodic lines of ethereal beauty. This marvelous material, however, was no more than Susan’s starting point. Building on this foundation, she built up a whole universe of sound, replete with delicate, complex chiaroscuro, evoking a veritable torrent of musical images. Each individual phrase had its place in a clearly perceived whole.’
Indian Express, Pune

‘Our audience, comprised of students and the general public, was very taken with her recital. Ms. Sobolewski has a rare gift for conveying her love of music to the audience.’
Rock Valley College, Rockford, IL

‘Miss Sobolewski’s recital, covering a breadth of Chopin’s works at this Festival honoring him, will not soon be forgotten. Her playing lives and breathes with the very soul of this composer.’
