As a guitar performer: Peter Zisa "...transcends mere technique to a higher level of musical artistry (Scott Zeidel, University Santa Barbara). He ...delicately blends melodic line and texture into an exciting musical experience (Louis Sahagun, Los Angeles Times). Peter Zisa is one of the very few I have heard that goes beyond the notes to higher levels of musical understanding and expression. His playing is delightful and moving (David Grimes, President Emeritus of the Guitar Foundation of America).
