“Having heard Dr. Getz perform on numerous occasions, I continue to be impressed and amazed at his technical expertise and his interpretive skill, but it is his beautifully sculpted tone quality that attracts listeners of every interest and background.”
—James Noyes, Artistic Director, MOSA Concert Series
“ The brilliant young soloist Noah Getz gave my saxophone concerto Ode to Lord Buckley a stunning and definitive performance that I will always remember. ”
—David Amram, First Composer-in-Residence, New York Philharmonic; Jazz and World Music Performer
“I had little interest in the classical saxophone until I got to know Noah Getz and his music. The warmth of his tone, attention to detail, impeccable technique and determination to pull every gram of music out of every phrase has made me a convert…He plays both with such sensitivity, verve and skill that he may well be the one to bring an audience to this music.”
—A.B. Spellman, Author; Radio and Television Commentator; Former Deputy Chairman for the Office of Guidelines, Panel and Council Operations of the National Endowment for the Arts
“I consider Noah Getz fully capable of performing my concerto at the highest level of excellence, and I recommend him as a soloist of the first rank in this work whenever the occasion may arise.”
—Henry Brant, Pulitzer Prize-winning Composer
“Your playing on Crosscurrents has big, bold sound and great shape to the lines. I especially liked the Roseman.”
—Lewis Spratlan, Pulitzer Prize-winning Composer
“I really like your interpretation of Henry Brant’s Saxophone Concerto. Congratulations on this beautiful job!”
—Claude Delangle, Professor of Saxophone, Paris Conservatory
“Noah did a magnificent job performing my piece, which is highly virtuosic. We had a full house, and everyone who heard Noah raved about him. He also had a chance to give a saxophone masterclass at UC-Davis and a colloquium to composers at UC-Berkeley, both of which were very well received.”
—Fernando Benadon, Professor of Theory and Composition, American University
