"Late Beethoven is not for the young, it is sometimes said, but what the Vinca Quartet did with Beethoven’s A minor Quartet on Wednesday was stunning....The Vinca musicians are worth keeping an eye on." —Bernard Holland, NY Times

"The concert began with Haydn's Quartet in F. op. 50 no. 5, played with wit, precision, excellent tonal quality, and a very expressive slow movement which seemed like the playing of a much more mature ensemble...The individuality of phrasing throughout...made this a performance to remember." ––Leslie Gerber, Woodstock Times, February 4, 2010

"The Vincas came to Fort Bragg and conquered our hearts and our minds. They played Mozart, Zemlinsky, Schubert and Schumann...An interesting and extremely diverse program that the Vinca Quartet met with grand elegance and virtuosity...Some wag said 'imagine what they'll be when they grow up'. Not hard for me to imagine at all. It's all there now and can only get better." ––Jay Sydeman, host of "The Mind of the Composer" on KZYX radio and former chair of the composition department at the Mannes College of Music

"The group has transformed itself into what we consider a major new ensemble. They have very impressive and solid technical and ensemble skills, and the group plays with an honesty, sincerity and insightfulness that engages us fully." – Michael Reynolds, Muir String Quartet, in residence at Boston University

"The quartet is a very fine group. Their musical skills and their personalities match in a way that is extremely promising for their future development." – Frank Reinecke, Vogler String Quartet, in residence at the Stuttgart Hochschule fuer Darstellende Kunst und Musik

"Appearing as invited guests on the prestigious Takács Quartet Series, the dynamic and personable Vinca Quartet won over a discriminating audience Monday evening. The quartet chose a challenging program that engaged the audience both intellectually and emotionally, delivering it with precision ensemble work and heart-rending beauty.
