Testimonials

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

I hear Lucille’s heart in her music.

Ben Buckles, hammered dulcimer player, Kansas

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

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

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

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

Bryan Bowers, acclaimed autoharpist and Autoharp Hall of Fame member

Each of the four times I have seen Lucille perform, she has consistently wowed the audience with her musicality, technical expertise, and lively and engaging personality, drawing the audience in and sharing with them her love of music, her enthusiasm for her instruments, and her joy of performance.

Dorothy Westgate, Montgomery Cultural Center, New Jersey

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

A true musical talent….Her hands produce really fine music.

Sierra Vista Herald, Arizona

Music drips from her fingers. Lucille Reilly is music.

Dr. John Williams, friend and music aficionado, Alabama
