Season Finale: The Reviews are In
From Madison Magazine:
The ovation, largely and quickly a standing one, was prolonged; apparently the Friday night subscribers at least have fully embraced Greenholtz as one of the family.
From The Isthmus:
Greenholtz is clearly a gifted player, and she displays skill and confidence. What struck me was her avoidance of the flashy, and a sensitivity to the real power that lies behind the virtuosic passages as well as the lovely melodies.
