               -Susan Mertens, The Vancouver Sun

"a note-perfect performer with an elegant style..."

               -Lloyd Dykk, The Vancouver Sun

"She manages to be, besides one of those increasingly common note-perfect technicians, an excellent colorist as well--something difficult to achieve on a flute, an instrument whose lack of overtones makes it one of the "purest" and most potentially wearisome instruments.  As early as the first couple of pieces, some light snippets by Alessandro Scarlatti and Haydn, I was completely won over by the elegance of her style, by the felicity of her way of brushing in a nuance and rounding out a phrase.  And when it came to a bristler such as one of the C.P.E. Bach sonatas for solo flute, she was no less authoritative, faultlessly tossing off the florid tracery of the fast movements and suspending between them an adagio of uncommonly expressive depth and sinuosity."

               -Lloyd Dykk, The Vancouver Sun

"What was exciting about the presentation was the work of Miss Cernauskas, who has rapidly established a formidable solo reputation in the city.  She is an assured, refined performer, self-possessed and careful, and aware of nuance--susceptible, one imagines, to mood, and able to express it in an elegant manner."

               -Max Wyman, The Vancouver Sun
