"If you have not yet encountered this extraordinary man of music, you
will marvel at his multiple gifts as a composer, conductor and solo
instrumentalist."
"...conducting his opera "Twelfth Night", Amram shows remarkable
skill in ensemble writing, thematic development and musical
characterization."
"He is a composer of major stature, a conductor of winning authority
and a jazz musician of noble intent and entertaining brilliance."
"Amram may be able to play more types of music than any other man.
He is a relentless pied-piper of pan cultural persuasiveness, leading
listeners into a global circle that brings all peoples together."
