"Her performance at the AGO 2008 national convention surprised and delighted the crowd of 2,000. Her composure, conviction, and compelling musicianship held the audience spellbound."
(Michael Barone, Pipedreams host)
"Another success. The strong impression left by Isabelle Demers' two previous concerts at Notre Dame earned her an audience of a rather impressive size...her Bach remained grandiose....[The Messiaen] breaks out like thunder, and the same applies just as well to Ms. Demers' interpretation of the work, despite her apparent frailty. Standing ovation."
(La Presse, Montreal, 2009)
"All that anyone could hope for. Her technique was flawless. She played with incredible energy, registered imaginatively, and her musicianship was of the highest order."(Donald Ingram, Program Committee
Eastern New York Chapter, AGO)
"Isabelle displayed all of the majesty, fire, and sweep that music of truly epic proportions demands....Isabelle's blazing technique, always in the service of good taste, meticulously reinforces the unrestrained passion which she brings to her music...the sort of performer who is invited back again and again." (Paul Dixon, St. Petersburg College, Florida, presenter)
"Isabelle Demers is tiny but mighty! She has it all-exciting technique, awesome artistry, refreshing charm, and an incredible gift for arranging and transcribing." (Rebecca Ogle, Neighborhood Church, Palos Verdes Estates CA, presenter)
"Not only does Isabelle Demers give outstanding performances of the great works for organ, but she makes challenging transcriptions of some of the popular works for large orchestra, which uniquely enliven her recital programs." (Robert W. Miller, Chamber Orchestra of he South Bay CA, presenter)
" A delight...Reports of her commanding technique were, if anything, understated, but they were always applied in service to the music and towards communicating with her listeners....the most exciting and lucid performance I have ever heard of this work [Reger]." (John Rose, Trinity College, Hartford, presenter)
"The Astonishing Isabelle Demers...much more than a perfect performance; she brought to that technical perfection a rare spirit of adventure, daring, and deep conviction, seeming to manufacture whole worlds before our eyes and spiritual imaginations. It's as if she took it upon herself to re-establish, this night and once and for all, that the organ remains today what it was in Machaut's time--the reigning king of all instruments. She fully succeeded." (Jeffrey Tucker, posted on ChantCafe.com)
