Friday, September 13, 2019, at 7:30 p.m.
Angelico Hall, Dominican University, San Rafael

"Lerner-Wright is definitely an impressive cellist. She was clearly up to the full scope of challenges of all of the works on the program; and she could “play well with others” as effectively as she could present her solo work. She even knew how to maintain audience attention with informative comments while retuning her instrument." (Stephen Smoliar, The Rehearsal Studio, June 30, 2018)
