"The students were absolutely fascinated with Todd and his ability to play so many instruments and were quiet and courteous.. They encouraged their parents to attend the public performance with them and it was one of the most successful public performances we have had. The buzz around town was not to miss Todd Green's performance and residents who have never attended our events came and students moved their chairs (as the front rows were immediately filled) and made a new row in front so they could be closer to see Todd perform. The local newspaper applauded the PVAC for bringing in "world-class entertainment" and a teacher at the middle school commended us in a letter for the "stroke of genius" of bringing Todd Green into the schools."

"I recently served on a grant evaluation panel which considered grants from across the state and commented to the other panel members that Todd's school presentations here in Albion were the best school programs I have ever seen either as a student or an adult. Our 8-year old son came home and announced that every child in the second grade now wants to be a musician, and we are still approached by parents wo are amazed at how excited their high-school age sons and daughters were. Most commented that their children never mentioned anything that happened at school, but couldn't stop talking about Todd. Todd's evening concert was also very well received. He is a rare and gifted musician who presents one of the most educational and entertaining performances I have ever experienced. We hope to be able to bring Todd to this area many times in the future."

"Todd Green's performance was a huge success. The audience was completely enthralled by the sounds of an the number of ethnic instruments Todd played. A question asked to me by several people was "where do you find such wonderful artists?" Mr. Green also performed the high school students the next day. He was recieved with a standing ovation in both concerts. The fifteenth Water Music Festival was greatly enhanced by Todd Green's performance and presence."

Water Music Festival, Seaview, WA
"We thoroughly enjoyed having Todd Green here. He is a true virtuoso and his love for the Eastern musical history and styles is evident as he plays. In his student matinees he drew the students in with questions and demonstrations that were so interesting that the children didn't even realize that they were learning! We saw many of the students come with their parents to the evening concert to hear him again. Todd was also extremely willing to help us promote both his concert and our Association, giving a 45-min. radio interview before the concert. We would highly recommend him as a performing artist to other communities ."

"Thank you for the wonderful week in residence that Todd Green did in Park County. We realized that covering 11 schools in 3 communities plus a master class at Northwest College would be a huge undertaking, but Todd did a terrific job meeting the individual needs at the various clinics. In all instances the evaluations from both students and staff were very positive. We were very impressed with Todd's ability to gear his clinics to different age levels, and it was great to watch him capture even the most disinterested students! The Adults in the community who attended his concert on his final day in Park County were very favorably impressed and he attracted a large number of students who had been in the clinics back for the performance. Todd's program is truly a multicultural experience as he teaches all ages about regions and countries through their music and instruments in a very entertaining way. I would highly recommend Todd Green as an excellent choice for residencies and concerts."

"Todd Green's Concert was truly
an exceptional evening of music for our Starfire Stage concert series. Green blended
his amazing array of instruments and electronic gadgetry with a wizard's knowledge
of musical arrangement and a skillful mastery of each instrument on stage. I have
presented the likes of Ray Charles, B.B.King, Bonnie Raitt, The Temptations, Scott
Cossu Group and other music giants of the world. Green shares their spark of "genius"
and deserves a full house wherever he performs. He is an act worth catching!"
Ian Elliott, President
Starfire Productions, Billings, MT
"What a pleasure it was to host Todd Green for ARTCORE's performing
art series! As you had promised, Todd made all ages feel welcome, and it was fun
to watch him include many different instruments in pieces with the assistance
of the digital sampling. I was particularly impressed with Todd's variety of style,
technique and complexity of rythms. His hands are amazing! Many thanks for a super
performance!"
Carolyn Dewel, Executive Director
ARTCORE,
Casper, WY
"Todd, you are a great artisan and
the school programs and concert were very well received. I continue to hear good
comments from our members and I am certain we will gain new members because of
inviting the young people to come Tuesday evening. Keep up the good work and,
again, it was great having you!"
Bob Brubaker, President
Basin Community Concert Association, Cortez, CO
"We
loved Todd Green in Lewistown. He is extremely talented and provided delightful
discussions and explanations between songs. His performance was fresh, innovative
and educational. The audience loved him and the directors of the Lewistown association
also loved the performance. Will we have him back? Of course! We extend a standing
offer to have him back in Lewistown. "
Barbara B. Sather,

"As a member of the Idaho Falls Community Concert Association
board, I would like to express my THANKS to Todd Green for spending extra time
to perform for three elementary schools in the Idaho Falls area, this being in
addition to the well attended and enthusiastically received concert the previous
night for us. I had the opportunity to observe one of the three assemblies and
was impressed with both the presentation by Todd and the attention the students
gave to the performance. We are looking forward to the next time he will be coming
to the Idaho Falls area."
Jerry Shively, Music Coordinator
School District #91, Idaho Falls, ID
"It
isn't often that one person successfully combines musician, composer, educator
and performer. Todd Green did, adding fine human being to the list."
Becky Clarke,The Cutter Threatre, Metaline Falls, WA
"Thank you for introducing us to the unique talents of Todd
Green. And talk about talent! How many artists play several guitars, flutes, percussion
instruments all on the same program at the same time? His electronic background
mixed with modern technology make for a spellbinding concert. He is a very gifted
artist. Bravo! Todd is a sure hit on any venue. We look forward to his return
next season."
