“Anthony Tobin has a tone like jewels. He is a sensitive and colorful pianist, and has a keen insight into music and its related areas.” —Pianist Daniel Pollack (recomendation)
"The Prokofiev was stunning. The Ginastera suite was gorgeous. You said that you're at home in the 20th Century literature and you proved that yesterday. It was really a joy to hear you play". —Douglas Dempster, Senior Associate Dean, College of Fine Arts, University of Texas at Austin
"The fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin, performed with music by Bela Bartok was brought to life for the kindergartens and younger grades. This show of color, movement, well-played piano music, and the warm narration and recitation mesmerized the children. They responded with awe, laughter, and spontaneous applause". —Bernd Vey, East Bay Waldorf School.
"With The Austin Ensemble, one could..feel awash in the wonderful piano music, resonant speech, glorious colors, and beautifully coordinated, artistic movement. Of all the aspects of this group which is paramount in my memory, it is the truly ensemble quality of the group's work". —Mane Barhydt, San Francisco Waldorf School.
"First, The Austin Eurythmy Ensemble was the only group that used live music and live speech. The others we saw used prerecorded sounds. The difference was stunning. Challenging piano pieces by Ustvolskaya, Shostakovich, and Debussy, played expertly by Anthony Tobin". —Colleen Sauer, Austin, TX
