Comments
"Your Debussy Danses were fabulous-congratulations!"
—Tim Schwartz, Director of Wilmington Community Orchestra
"Janet, you are a consummate professional and a joy to work with. Thank you for sharing your abundant talents with us."
—Mary Green, Kennett Symphony Conductor, August 2010
"I keep hearing rave reviews about your playing at our concerts. One fellow, with a doctorate in music performance said he had no idea the harp was capable of so many ranges of color and articulation. He said, he was "blown away!'"
—Rob Upton, Wheatland Chorale Director, Dec. 2010
"Janet was a joy to work with and represented the perfect combination of personable and professional." Dr. Craig Rider, Music Director, Grove Methodist Church, West Chester, PA. —www.gigmasters.com Dec. 2010
"Your playing of the Swan on youtube is BRILLIANT! Beautifully played with such sincerity."
—Catriona McKay- Scottish harp virtuoso and composer.
"Thank you for a great concert. It's so fun for me to work with super-talented musicians. Playing the Mozart Flute and Harp Concerto was like having Mozart himself sitting there- so beautiful!"
—Peter Brown, Organist and Music Director at Trinity Lutheran Church, Lancaster, PA. Nov. '09
"Thank you for playing at Ron's memorial service. The music was absolutely wonderful, and those musically educated were effusive in their praise. The harp music was the shell that held the service together, and I was absolutely entranced."
—Wendy Bashford, Dec '09
"Congratulations on your excellent achievements as arranger and director."
—Ray Pool
"The concert that sticks in my mind the most was on the last day, when Janet Witman led the Somerset Harp Ensemble in a program of her fun and fascinating arrangements. Not the usual, occassionally dull ensemble stuff- great rhythms and special effects added interest."
—Kathy Chanik, "Harp Column" conference report, Fall 2009
"Witman did a wonderful solo set, including a really devishly complex jazzy piece by Scottish harpist Savourna Stevenson called, "Emily's Calling"- a piece that showed off Janet's lever harp "chops of death".
Kathy Chanik, "Harp Column " conference report, Fall 2009
"Janet is my new harp idol!"
—Ray Pool, July '09
"Janet's own harp performance was a real treat- the music just rippled effortlessly from her strings."
—Gerry Serviente, founder and past director of the Somerset Harp Festival, July '09.
"Your unique gift is not only to comfort but to entertain. You seem to have a finger on the pulse of what the audience responds to- thanks for sharing your talents with all of us in D.C."
—Bonnie Berkmeier, PA, harpist, July '09
"It's always a pleasure to have you perform at Longwood Gardens. Your music always adds something special to our programming."
—Emily Moody, Performing Arts
"You play divinely and I have a great feeling about working with you as a soloist".
—Karl Middleman, conductor Philadelphia Classical Symphony
