Sarah-Grace Williams has been continually celebrated by the press:
“Sarah-Grace slices the air with her baton, sparking the inexorable bond with her players. Like a marionettist with a voodoo knack, she casts a spell on the string section, directing their arms in elegant synchronicity. Her animation and engagement inspire not only the orchestra, but also the audience, transfixing them onto the art form from the Opus intro to the encore” (Sheldon Ang) …
“In the hands of Williams this work became a tour de force of exceptional poise, eloquence and atmosphere” (Sydney Arts Guide) …
“Williams succeeds in creating very pioneering and open soundscapes, creating an attractive new interpretative world” (Arts Hub) …
”Outstanding conductor, Williams, is able to draw out the musicality in of each player and weld them into a wonderful orchestra with a great sound” (Paul Nolan) …
“Despite the multiple vocalists potentially stealing the limelight from the pole position of the stage, Williams’ styles grasped the audience’s attention towards the orchestra for most of the night. Her semi-dance quirks and signature facial expressions while conducting were charismatic and fun, perpetually beaming a dose of technical grace and gentility that is ever so welcoming from a classical musician. In short, Williams took the clubbers onto her orchestral journey.” (S A Media)
