Testimonials

On Rhapsody in Blue, “Truly riveting performance, great stage presence, perfect combination of energy and charm.”

~ Olga Kaler, Cleveland Institute of Music

On Mozart Concerto, “. Very nice "cadenza" at the end of the development, I especially appreciated the echo effect, I wasn't expecting it and I will steal this from you if I may!”

~ Christopher Harding, University of Michigan Piano Faculty

“I recorded Sami, aged 11, for his debut radio recital on his hometown classical station. He brought a lovely range of repertoire, and everyone involved in the production was highly impressed with him and his performances. I will follow his career with interest.”

~ Robbie Ellis, Producer of Introductions on WFMT Chicago

“We’re huge fans of Sami. We see him as a powerful advocate, not only for autism, for the piano, and for music education, but also for positivity and the kind of attitude we should all have. We love that he’s embraced something extraordinarily difficult, like the piano, and instead of adding to a list of inhibitive life challenges, he’s found a way to use it to accentuate the upside of everything he is inside. When we do this, we tap into what Beethoven called the Divine inside all of us. Please SHARE this video!”

~ Jon Schmidt & Steve Nelson, The Piano Guys

~ Ernie Els, Pro Golfer

He was such a force to see live. Then, when he spoke, that was it! This kid is going places!
