"I feel that Rob Chavez is an extraordinary musician.
His technique is brilliant and his tone is unusually round and sweet. I am very impressed with his playing. So many proficient clarinetists produce a brittle, rather stident sound and there is none of this in Mr. Chavez' playing."

Carolyn Goldsmith
Mill Valley Chamber Music Society, Chair

"Without question, he is a great talent, a beautiful clarinetist, an artist.
His golden sound and the expressivness he achieves with it, combined with a beautiful sense of phrasing and true intonation is a joy to hear."

Detlev Olshausen
Assoc. Principal Violist, San Francisco Symphony, Lecturer of Music,
UC Berkeley

"Rob Chavez is a first rate and natural talent as well as an innate sense
of musicality. In a perfromance situation he has the extra spark - the charisma- so necessary to the performing artist."

Michele Zukovsky
Los Angeles Philharmonic, Principal Clarinet

"When I heard Rob Chavez, I was impressed. I wanted to feature him with the Ventura County Symphony Orchestra. He is a fine artist."

Frank Salazar
Ventura County Symphony Orchestra, Conductor
