"...Jacobs-Perkins cut razor-sharp lines with her cello over scrubby brushstrokes of strings [and]...returned to perform 'Let Us Breathe,' a wrenching soliloquy...composed by [Jeffrey] Mumford after the killing of George Floyd." 

 

Michael Andor Brodeur, The Washington Post

“Jacobs-Perkins delivered the desolate Largo with hypnotic lyricism, causing listeners to forget where they were for a moment."

Alex Ross, The New Yorker

"...color alchemy..."

Kevin McLaughlin, Cleveland Classical

"...delightfully plucked and slapped her cello like a rockabilly upright bassist rather than a classical player.”

 

Jeff Spevak, The Democrat and Chronicle

“…gave a mesmerizing performance as the soloist in [Elgar’s Cello Concerto]..., causing the audience to leap to its feet and demand an encore...so haunting and delicate that the audience seemed to hold its breath.”

New York State Music
