"Gendel's love for and expert treatment of the human voice are coupled with an instant accessibility for the listener... a spectacularly talented musician"
- NATS Journal of Singing
"Luminous, transcendently lyrical." - Opera News
"Scott Gendel's songs combine superb craftsmanship, a sophisticated and well-honed sense of prosody, texts of excellent literary quality, and a sure heart."
- Daron Hagen, writing for NewMusicBox
“Those of us working in new opera often talk about finding the American voice in opera, because it’s notoriously French and Italian and German. [Scott's work] feels like an opera that truly has an American voice.”
- Keturah Stickann, speaking to the Isthmus
Coaching & Teaching
"Scott has been my trusted pianist & coach for many years. I depend on him to help me prepare lead roles for the top opera houses on the planet. No matter what I throw at him - classical or modern, opera or jazz - he delivers quality, nuanced work without exception."
- Kyle Ketelsen
"What a joy it is to work with Scott. He does great work and he brings that out in others... [Scott is] a light in an industry that continues to dim people's shine and I can't thank him enough for always making the music fun!"
