Cheryl Cellon Lindquist possesses a rare quality as an artist: her ability to hone in on nuance, to highlight emotional subtext in music, to underscore the subtleties of interpretation can be attributed to her intuition and her storied experience, always in service of music, of song, of poetry and art. How lucky we are, as listeners, that both the composer and the poet are heard more fully under Cheryl’s curiosity, her compassion, and her diligence to illuminate the depths of the human condition through music and language.
— John Grimmett, Composer/Librettist
