Performance Reviews ~WOW! What a great performance of my piece....thank you!!! Bravo!! You have become a real champion of this piece, no doubt about it. Terrific performance of a difficult piece. I should know...I wrote it! Steve Kujala (RE: Eurythmionics performance at the International Piccolo Symposium, June, 2009) ~ Kate and Christi, your performance of Flash! is a sensation - amazingly exciting and in-command the whole way. A finessed tightrope walk. It is a knockout for me to hear your recital !! Thanks !! Daniel Dorff (Composer of Flash! Performance at the IPS, June, 2009) ~ Your just magnificent playing on these recent YouTube videos is full, rich and expressive. You are among the best in the world on piccolo. Hope you get the recognition and aclaim--and gigs--you deserve. Jerry Pritchard, Professor of Music Emeritus, CSU, San Bernardino, CA. ~ For several years I had the pleasure of having Kate play in my Indiana University Wind Ensemble. She is an outstanding musician and I was reminded of this daily as I listened to her beautiful sound, technical virtuosity, and sensitive musicianship. Kate was without question, one of the most dependable performers I had in my 36 year tenure at IU. She has such a pleasant personality, I looked forward to her engaging smile and positive leadership during every rehearsal. Her loyalty and influence on the ensemble was truly amazing. She was well liked and respected by everyone. There is no question in my mind that she will be highly successful in teaching and performing during her entire music career.” Ray E. Cramer Emeritus Director of Bands Indiana University President, The Midwest Clinic ~ I was amazed and awed by Kate Prestia-Schaub, who gave the piccolo masterclass and performed the first movement of the Lowell Lieberman concerto in the Gala Recital. Kate is a rock star -- there are no two ways about it. The piccolo is the easiest instrument in the world to play badly. I have heard a lot of bad piccolo playing (most notably coming out of ME. I suck at the piccolo). Sunday night was the first time I really truly HEARD the Lieberman concerto and its beauty, because Kate has a mastery and sensitivity far above anyone else I've heard. Not even at the piccolo masterclass at the NFA convention (in which I didn't play, mind you--I was the door monitor) have I heard the picc played so well. Such control, such sensitivity, wow! Polly Moller Flute Performance Artist, San Francisco, CA ~ What a loving breath of fresh air that you produced at last nights Artist Showcase at the Merc in Temecula. I now feel it was like allowing in a breath as if I were standing in the middle of a Secret Garden, observing a beautiful waterfall and taking a breath of gratitude, love and ease. I especially liked Lughnasa and Telemann’s Fantasy # 2. Kate is truly a gem and it was well worth the drive up from San Diego to hear her play! Patrick J. Carney Referral Institute - San Diego ~ Kate Prestia
Schaub's piccolo playing was magical and certainly the highlight of the
program.
Deanna Hahn-Little (Mid-South Flute Festival 2006) Middle State Tennessee University Flute Professor ~ Kate
Prestia-Schaub was a guest lecturer at our flute festival this year.
She was a wonderful player, great teacher, and extremely friendly and
gracious to everybody
Mid South Flute Society Board Member
Dewey Erney RE: Lucky To Be Me CD ~ It was an honor to meet you and rehearse together, and the highlight of my NFA week to hear your performances. Many people mentioned you're the new front line in a great flute dynasty and mentioned how much they admired your grandfather. He would be very proud to hear you play last week! Daniel Dorff - Composer RE: 2005 San Diego NFA Convention ~ Kate
Prestia-Schaub, winner of the NFA Piccolo Artist Competition in 2002,
performed two recent piccolo pieces during this recital. Her playing
was absolutely gorgeous with variable vibrato and a dark, sweet tone -
my apologies if you missed hearing her.
