"The result (of the premiere) was nothing short of breathtaking -- it surpassed even our highest expectations from rehearsal."

“Max is a versatile musician who combines performance experience as a cellist with his work as a multi-style creator and composer. He has mastered choral writing and symphonic impact — particularly in string writing, a strength rooted in his background as a cellist. This blend of experiences and qualities defines a well-rounded musician who has only just begun a promising career.”

"Max and I collaborated on multiple recitals and competitions. Max's exuberant personality, work ethic, and musicianship made my experience unforgettable."

"I am fortunate to call Max my friend and mentor. For the past two years I have had the pleasure working with him to bring his arrangements and compositions to the stage. He has taught me so much about playing cello and being a collaborative artist. I look forward to learning more of his music and hope to play for years to come."
