"The premier American ragtime ensemble.”

– The Washington Post, 2014

"The work you are doing in compiling performable scores for silent films is really incredible. I know how much time goes in to creating the scores in parts as you have done (I’ve done something similar myself) and I want you to know how much it’s appreciated. Every selection was perfect for the scene that it accompanied, and the time you spent coming up with the selections really showed."

- Matthew Jaroszewicz, Assistant Conductor, Canton Symphony Orchestra, 2019

“The show was truly fantastic! Adored by young and old, and the perfect treat to re-open the Levoy Theatre. We are very proud of the entire event and thank you for playing such an integral part in its success!”

“The Peacherine Orchestra preserves a unique cultural experience.”

– The Severna Park Voice, 2014

“Andrew Greene's Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra was amazing. Although I'd never seen a movie accompanied by an 11-piece ensemble, I'm not sure why I would ever see another movie without the same treatment... the richness of sound from the orchestra was unbeatable. It was truly amazing and an experience I'll not soon forget.”

– Culpeper Star Exponent, 2015

“They are, quite simply, one of the finest ragtime orchestras in the world.”

– Bryan Wright, Rivermont Records, 2018

“...Plenty of variety, played in a sparkling fashion which positively exudes good spirits...evocative of the sound that once would have been heard emanating from a park bandstand on a balmy summer’s afternoon.”

– Barry McCanna, Sounds of Yesteryear, 2018

“The finest group of its kind... impeccably performed.”

– The Syncopated Times, 2018
