“Although Ms. Ponomarchuk is relatively young, she has already achieved the level of a world-class orchestra conductor. Her conducting style is defined by strong discipline, powerful energy and the ability to deeply understand creative ideas in the music of past and present. That’s why every contemporary Ukrainian composer wants his/her orchestral music to be conducted by Natalia Ponomarchuk.”

“After listening to many fine recordings and watching different DVDs of Ms. Ponomarchuk, I have to confirm that Ms. Ponomarchuk is a talented and serious conductor.

Therefore, I believe in her ability to be very fine and successful principal conductor or music director in any opera house or symphony orchestra.”
