Testimonials

Lucille’s arrangements are nothing short of stunning!

Autoharp Quarterly

Lucille performs with a skill and grace not usually heard (or seen)…a committed performer/teacher who strives for excellence, bringing wit and personality to her performances…delightful to listen to and a pleasure to watch.

June Van Thoen, Director, Music at Morristown (NJ) United Methodist Church

I have always believed in giving public credit to musicians whose talent and originality awe and inspire me, and one of the best is LUCILLE REILLY. She’s a master at both hammered dulcimer and autoharp. I love her magnificent technique, feeling for the music, and clever (often humorous) improvisations on well-known music.

Lois Hornbostel, North Carolina

Lucille is in a class by herself when it comes to playing and teaching the dulcimer.

Norine Humm, Michigan

Magnificent, both in terms of musicianship and showmanship. Lucille has a special talent to raise people’s spirits and get them moving and smiling. How lucky the audience!

Jerry Wrzosek, hammered dulcimer player, Pennsylvania

Her incredible music blew away the whole church! We never imagined the hammered dulcimer and autoharp could play so diversely and musically.

Washington Park UCC Church, Denver, CO

Anyone with that much talent should have been drowned at birth.

Bryan Bowers, acclaimed autoharpist and Autoharp Hall of Fame member

Lucille’s playing of the hammered dulcimer reminds me of a hummingbird whose wings you cannot see, only the flutter.

Sandy Jones, hammered dulcimer player, Michigan

Exuberant and lively…GREAT energy!!!

Kathy O’Hanlon, hammered dulcimer player, West Virginia

I will never forget the first time I heard Lucille play. It is right up there with the most outstanding performances I’ve ever heard (Victor Horowitz, Leon Fleisher, and James Galway, to name a few).

Kay Hooper, pianist and Alexander Technique clinician, Pennsylvania
