"Lisa Neher is the comprehensive musician we need for the 21st century - a performer, composer, and educator whose intellect and skill sets bridge tradition with innovation, musicianship with non-musical arts. Her compositions (much like her personality) exhibit a sophistication, sincerity, and immediate appeal."
