Eric's deep understanding of a multitude of musical genres and his great ability to translate it to any instrument he plays make his performances both thrilling and enlightening.
-Vinicius Perez
Eric, my (ex) student and now a successful colleague of mine, was one of my hardest working students on the lute and guitar/alto-guitar. Today, he is a wonderful concert lutenist and historical plucked string specialist, providing a great wealth of knowledge on the historical context of many styles of music. It is a great pleasure to see his phenomenal development.
