"Sudie's deep commitment to, and affection for, the music she sings always make it a pleasure to work with her. She brings to rehearsal an unerring sense of style and a delightful sense of collegiality; in performance she brings the audience to the heart of the matter by communicating her own delight in making music come alive."

“I have worked with Sudie Marcuse for fifteen years, and have always found her to be serious, informed and dependable in rehearsal. Her music making is of the highest order. She is a very exciting performer who knows how to draw the audience into any piece she chooses to sing.”
Robert Edward Smith, Composer in Residence, Trinity College
Working with Sudie is always a professional pleasure. Her attention to musical detail and her unfaltering artistry combine to produce memorable interpretations, whether it's Purcell's Witch of Endor, an aria from Handel's Messiah, or blending in ensemble singing.
Steve Curylo, WFCR, National Public Radio
“There is no singer with whom I enjoy singing more than Sudie, whether in duet or chamber ensemble or large chorus, or even just sight-reading sessions with friends. Even before she opens her mouth she radiates utter commitment to the musical moment and its myriad emotional possibilities, no matter the style or composer. Her musical communication skills are of the highest order, with her intuitive musicality and awesome technique informed by her deeply inquiring intellect.”
Peter W. Shea, tenor and Heine scholar
