“The University of Victoria’s music faculty must be thanking its lucky stars to have these wonderfully talented and personable players on staff. So should Canada, which now hears a good deal more from them than it used to.” (Waterloo Gazette)

“The Lafayette Quartet is certainly one of the many ensembles with fine sound, excellent intonation and crackerjack ensemble precision, but what sets them apart is a level of musical insight that is reserved to very few ensembles. With the Lafayette, you really get the sense that they play Beethoven, as the saying has it, ‘Beethoven’s way.’ And the same goes for many other great composers whose work they have illuminated for us, year in and year out.” (Jan Narveson, Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society)
