Paris France, studying with Yvonne Loriod Messiaen, who has
commended her “…an excellent young pianist with grand talent!

an excellent technique, a mastering of rhythms, colors and
styles, all exceptional. She is an intelligent and refined
artist, to whom I wish a radiant career”. Quynh Nguyen was

the article "Young Artists: The Thrill of Discovery" in the
Musical America 2004 Edition. The Boston Globe in October 2003

flexible singing sound, she excels in everything that requires
elegance, proportion, balance, taste, and wit …”. The New York
Concert Review Summer 2001 found her to be “a real artist, a
wonderfully communicative performer obviously intoxicated with
the joy of living her music and sharing it with those lucky
enough to hear it spring from her soul.”
