"In Paganini's Terzetto, Palmer took on the violin part with her flute. Considering Paganini’s tendency to push violin virtuosity for all it was worth, she did an excellent job in giving an effective account of the marks on the score pages.”

“Kris Palmer performs with a wooden flute rather than the more common silver flute, producing a dark sound that blends well…Palmer plays the classics with authority, reflecting her studies in 18th century performance practice. She finds the character of each movement and presents it in an engaging manner.”
Performing Arts Monterey Bay

“Kris Palmer specializes in Baroque flute music and has written a highly specialized book on the subject. A wooden flute has a sound distinctly more mellow and less sparkling than a modern metal flute and in the hands of this highly accomplished performer it blends with the cello and guitar creating a unique blend of sonorities.”
