Pairing maximum delicacy with fire and brilliance,” hailed Guatemala City’s Prensa Libre. Violinist Andrew Sords has been cited for “a flawless performance displaying not only mastery of his instrument but also maturity and sensitivity,” by the Arizona Sun and “not just technically superb; it was melodious, resonant, expressive, and passionate. The audience could not stop applauding” by the Palm Springs Sun; ClevelandClassical.com gushed: “the stunner of the afternoon was a breathless but magnificently controlled performance of Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” sonata, which Sords charged through with giddy aplomb. Sords impressed with his total command of technique, consummate musicianship and bravura as he tossed off scads of notes and sang out like a diva - he and Eriko Izumida kept the audience in the palm of their hands all afternoon.” Mr. Sords has reached millions of listeners worldwide through prominent profiles on NPR’s Morning Edition, Siriux XM’s The Derek and Romaine Show, Canada’s CBC, Australia’s ABC, Interlochen Public Radio, London’s The Times, Queerty Blog, OUT Magazine, and remains the first classical artist to headline a USA Pride Festival.
