--George Del Gobbo, Music Director, Columbus Symphony Orchestra

"I cannot thank you enough for all your help and for your group's professional approach to this engagement with the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra this past weekend. Mithril was wonderful to work with and that includes tremendous flexibility. I know the audience really enjoyed hearing you and we look forward to talking about doing something together in the future."
--Michael Beattie, Executive Director, Mississippi Symphony Orchestra

"What a perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! The program was wonderful and our audiences responded enthusiastically to Mithril's high-energy performance."
--Carla Hill, President & CEO, West Shore Symphony Orchestra

"MITHRIL is musically strong and interesting and the audience loved them. This is the type of entertainment we are proud to present to our patrons. MITHRIL helped us bring a big world to a small town."
--David Fink, co-owner, Acorn Theater, Three Oaks, MI

"We had one of our biggest crowds ever in our 20 years of giving Fine Arts presentations for the community. The concert was very upbeat with lots of variety, enjoyable and entertaining to all. We even had a little boy dancing in the aisle!"
--Glen & Judy Brown Richardson, Co-Managers, Fine Arts Series of The Presbyterian Church of La Porte, IN

"Mithril's appearance with our orchestra was a huge success -- their brand of Celtic music whipped up our audience as few others have. Their appeal is broad; we brought in many new people for the first time. Their arrangements are a conductor's dream: well-balanced, interesting for the orchestra, clearly printed, and easy to prepare. And because two members of the group are active orchestra musicians, they speak our language. A month later, we are still getting calls about Mithril, and I have already engaged them to perform again."
--Scott Speck, Music Director, Mobile Symphony and West Shore Symphony

"Mithril was a huge success in Mobile. The audience gave Mithril three standing ovations and left the concert joyful, cheering and wanting more. The following Monday we received a new endowment gift in direct response to our concert with Mithril. Letters to the editor praised the performance, and multiple board members have asked when Mithril will play with Mobile Symphony again. The energy level, artistic excellence, and pure joy of this quartet inspired the orchestra and audience creating an evening of unmatched delight."
--Christina Littlejohn, CEO, Mobile Symphony

"The Quartet played with verve and seemed to be in constant motion; clearly they were having fun. The four wasted no time demonstrating why MITHRIL has become one of the most sought-after groups in the region. When MITHRIL hit the final emphatic note, the ovation was thunderous...a breathtaking finish that brought patrons to their feet."
--Thomas Harrison, Arts Editor, Mobile Register

"I want to thank MITHRIL for your great shows as part of the Mobile Symphony Chamber Series. Your two concerts set all-time attendance records at both venues, with standing-room-only crowds, quite an accomplishment for a chamber music series! Your high-energy Celtic music generated a whole new audience for the Mobile Symphony Chamber Series. We are already receiving calls asking about your next concert."
--Christina Littlejohn, CEO, Mobile Symphony

"Mithril breathed new life into "The Wishing Tree" (on the CD Winter's Day) with their feathery harp and their warm, evocative strings. A thoughtful take on my piece, one you should hear!"
--Seamus McGuire, Irish Fiddler

"MITHRIL is certainly creating a buzz among area music lovers. Their name is the one most often written on our request log, and their two on-air concerts have attracted twice the audience of others. Their CD "Banish Misfortune" satisfies the Celtic fan, yet seduces others with ambient-influenced pieces like the "Celtic Silk Road." Mithril has found the elusive line between traditionalism and up-to-the-minute contemporary music."
--Catt Sirten, host of Radio Avalon, 91.3 WHIL-FM

"MITHRIL blends intricate melodies and countermelodies to create a rich, layered sound in the Celtic music the quartet brings to area audiences. Rare and wonderful...music that makes you want to dance with the fairies in their gossamer dresses and bare toes!"
--Renee Bangs, music editor, "Langniappe"

"Celtic culture is in good hands in southern Alabama with the musical talents of MITHRIL. Their CD "Banish Misfortune" is quality Celtic music and has earned a position on my nationally syndicated radio program."
--Bryan Kelso Crow, host of Celtic Connections

"MITHRIL is just the kind of group we enjoy featuring here at the most famous Irish pub in the South. You folks play wonderful renditions of the tunes from Ireland and Scotland, and I can tell you have great respect for the music as well. We look forward to your appearance at the Celtic Nations Festival!"
--Danny O'Flaherty, owner of O'Flaherty's Irish Pub, New Orleans

"Like their namesake, MITHRIL takes the fantasy of Tolkien and mixes it with Celtic folk and contemporary music in a magic blend of powerful musical talent. On their new CD "Banish Misfortune" they play with energy and skill and sound as tight as the best Celtic bands. I highly recommend that you too discover the magic that is MITHRIL!"
--Michael McDane Harris, host of Renradio.com
