"I reserve my praise only for musicians of exceptional merit, and I would be remiss if I did not highly recommend this deserving artist. It gives me great pleasure to recommend Michael Crawford for any type of engagement and setting, whether it be a concert which is geared toward regular concert goers or an informal pops concert for first time listeners. I have collaborated with him performing duos in concert as well as conducting him as concert meister in chamber orchestra. He is an outstanding violinist of solo concert hall caliber and is equally at ease in solo repertoire and chamber music, as well as concert meister. The same can be said of his facility in all musical styles throughout the ages. And he is also a highly respected composer as well. Noteworthy are Crawford’s exceptional talents when collaborating with others. We have collaborated closely in rehearsals and in organizing concerts, and he is versatile, flexible, and creative. His willingness to provide diverse repertoire which is suited to any occasion is invaluable in pleasing average audiences as well as connoisseurs. Michael Crawford is always dependable, conscientious, and a pleasure to work with. One can always be sure that he will rise to the occasion, having perfected every detail as a strong and solid musician and collaborator"

"When my wife and I learned about a recital that Michael Shingo Crawford would be performing at the Laurel Hill Mansion in Philadelphia, I called to reserve seats. I had seen several of the videos of his performing and of his compositions, so I was eager to hear him in person. We were very impressed with his exciting, musical playing and were pleased with the varied selections on the program. The large room was filled with an enthusiastic audience, and it was obvious that everyone was enjoying his recital. I highly recommend him! "

"I had the absolute pleasure of hosting Michael in my home for a private concert through a wonderful organization called GroupMuse, which brings classical musicians into living rooms for intimate and accessible performances. He was so great to work with, very professional and punctual. His music talent is just incredible. Very skilled and clearly very passionate about music...from classic pieces to his own compositions. I would be honored to be able to hear him play again. "
