"A wonderful celebration. I was absolutely overwhelmed by the excellence of your presentations. You touch an audience in a way that is experienced all too rarely. Inspirational. ...this Kallah weekend has been the best of a very distinguished series. "
- Judy Meltzer, Chizuk Emunah, Baltimore

"Spirited and beautiful"
- Dr. Ruth Westheimer, President, YM-YWHA, Washington Heights, NYC

"Laura brings a special warmth and heimishness."
- Jewish Currents Magazine

"In a time of renewed interest in traditional music, there are only a handful of singers who can really perform the enormously sophisticated and varied styles of Jewish music from around the world. Laura is one who is keeping the flame alive - an amazingly gifted singer, songwriter and ethnic folklorist."
- David Amram, composer/conductor

"Great voice, great writing"
- WBAI/FM, NYC

"Laura Wetzler is sensational. We invite her back again and again because our audiences love her. She is accomplished in a fascinating repertoire, always fresh, with a terrific voice."
- Peter Malinow, Educational Alliance, NYC

"Laura's engaging spirit comes through in everything she does, whether singing her own material or drawing from other sources. She is at home in all the Jewish mediums: Israeli Hebrew; the Sephardic and Mizraki traditions; Yiddish; Contemporary Folk; and American classics. Musical time spent with Laura Wetzler is time very well spent."
- Rabbi Balfour Brickner, Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, NYC

"Give this a listen. Laura Wetzler was a real find for me...
a clear, soaring voiceexceptionally compelling."
- Lyn Wenzel, New Directions, NYC
