“I have known Lois Roberts since we were both students in the studio of Josef Raieff at Juilliard. She is a musician of the highest order with a gift not only for playing artistically but teaching with rare understanding and insight. She has worked with students who have gone on to impressive accomplishments. And her recording of Bach's monumental Goldberg Variations is as good as it gets! She is a devoted, knowledgeable and accomplished musician and teacher, and with pleasure I offer my sincere glowing accolades.”
