"There were excellent solo contributions ... especially trumpeter Mark Inouye, whose every turn in the spotlight these days seems to elicit greatness." Joshua Kosman, Oct. 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Stravinsky - Petroushka "...the scherzo graced by a breathtakingly beautiful posthorn solo delivered from the upper terrace by principal trumpeter Mark Inouye." Joshua Kosman, Sept. 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Mahler - Symphony No. 3 "...from the opening brass chorale to Mark Inouye's phenomenal, offstage, posthorn-imitating trumpet..." Janos Gereben, Sept. 2011 San Francisco Classical Voice Mahler - Symphony No. 3 "Copland's "Billy the Kid" Suite was an apt opener, full of zesty rhythms and tuneful interchanges. A stunningly beautiful solo by principal trumpeter Mark Inouye capped the performance's success." Joshua Kosman, Sept. 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Copland - Billy the Kid "The gleaming tone, pinpoint intonation and evocative phrasing of principal trumpet Mark Inouye's solos in excerpts from Act III of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" were the talk of the board meeting during the concurrent annual conference of the Music Critics Association of North America." Barbara Jepson, Sept. 2011 Wall Street Journal Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake "A striking yet muted, minute-long trumpet solo by Inouye. It alone was worth the price of admission, the way he played it: This initial material was so inherently interesting that nothing better could be added during the remaining 12 minutes of the work. " Jeff Dunn, Dec. 2010 San Francisco Classical Voice Cowell - Synchrony "The program began with Henry Cowell's "Synchrony," from 1930, beginning with plangent solo trumpet from Mark Inouye, who was superb all evening . . .

Classy playing came particularly from trumpeter Mark Inouye . . ." Dan Leeson, Feb. 2010 San Francisco Classical Voice Bruckner - Symphony No. 6 ". . . All of the musicians were exceptional, with Mark Inouye making some brilliant sounds on trumpet." Phillip Cambell, Feb. 2010 Bay Area Reporter Stravinsky - Octet
