"The first time I heard Linda Shumas' work, I moved to tears. It conjures up images of unparalleled passion, longing, and still so many more dimensions of the human spirit. There is an expressiveness to her work that speaks intuitively to the heart and soul."
~ Daisy Lee, Director/Writer

"Interestingly enough, the astonishingly powerful pianist Linda Shumas saw this work (1997 Fantasie, Minuet and Trio) when it was yet imcomplete in 1996, when i still had sufficient strength in my arms to tune her massive semi-concert grand. It was only after Simon Docking's premiere of the work here at St. George-the -Martyr, and the subsequent TWO NEW HOURS broadcast in the Spring of 2001, that i was free to place the score in Linda's hands. I have no intentions of ever again writing a work that is as difficult to play as this one. From my entire life's output of musical ideas , this one pience stands apart."
~Composer John S. Gray

"The works of Linda Shumas are always breath-taking and beautiful. I would recommmend her music to anyone. Mozart and Bach are household names and I believe one day Shumas will be too. Anyone with ears, listen, and find yourself in awe of the unique and absolutly amazing sounds of Linda Shumas"
