If anything stands out in the musical work of New York violist Marc Sabbah, it is his sensitivity.

Summary in English of the Spanish concert review "Libera Marc Sabbah sensibilidad en la viola con íntimo concierto". Read the original on zocalo.com.mx
Reviewing the concert with the Orquesta Filarmónica del Desierto at the Museo de las Aves in Saltillo, Zócalo wrote that sensitivity is what stands out most in Marc Sabbah's music-making: something sober in his fingering, yet carefully planned in every stroke of the bow.
- The museum setting gave the evening a much more intimate atmosphere, and the programme "filled the listeners with emotion".
- The orchestra dedicated the performance to the young tenor who had recently passed away, remembering him as a special voice it had been glad to work with.
