"Sharon Torello marries a musical sensibility with practical perspective in her work for Piffaro, The Renaissance Band. She has competently produced several fundraising and marketing pieces for us over the years, as well as galleries for the Google Cultural Institute that showed Piffaro off to great advantage at the Carnegie Hall launch of the project in 2016. The team that she assembled to produce our 20/21 season of virtual concert films was a joy to collaborate with, and her ‘creative, respectful video’ and ‘sensitive editing’ (Broad Street Review) made her for all practical purposes an invisible, seventh member of our sextet."
— Shannon Cline, Executive Director, Piffaro, A Renaissance Band
“We have worked with Sharon to create occasional human interest and garden highlight videos for our nonprofit organization. With the onset of the pandemic, we needed to pivot and engage our visitors virtually and Sharon stepped in to help. She produced high quality, beautiful videos that quickly became favorites for a wide variety of viewers near and far. She is great at keeping the human element while featuring plants in our collections and the beauty of the garden landscape."
— Thomas A. Smarr, Jr., Executive Director, Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens
“Each and every collaboration with Sharon is pure magic. I want to emphasize the word "collaboration" because Sharon truly embodies all aspects of the collaborative spirit; she listens, adjusts, offers feedback, and provides top-notch work that seamlessly blends high-quality audio with artistic visual perspectives. In addition, Sharon's photography is just stunning, always capturing the true essence of the moment. Glassbrook Vocal Ensemble, and I, are grateful to know Sharon and are always proud and excited to share the exceptional product that she creates with our audience. We have found our person. Thank you, Sharon!”
— Chaequan C. Anderson, Founder & Executive Artistic Director of Glassbrook Vocal Ensemble
“Sharon Torello’s photography, videography, and editing has been an equal artistic component for many of Orchestra 2001’s projects over several seasons. We utilize many unusual indoor and outdoor venues and no matter what setting – Bartram’s Garden, Cherry Street Pier, or a parking lot in Kensington – she was able to capture the essence of the event including unexpected B-roll extras such as natural surroundings, a passing train, or a listener in a yoga pose. We have always been extremely pleased with her reliable turn-around time and affordability. Most notable was her assistance in quickly revamping our UNHINGED! program with the Barnes Foundation at the very onset of the pandemic; this allowed both partners to offer the program on the original scheduled date. I highly recommend her work!”
– Adam Lesnick, Executive Director, Orchestra 2001
"This past season (2020/2021) proved one of the most challenging to the performing arts. Choral Arts made the decision rather than staying silent we would move to a digital concert format. Our organization already had a relationship with Sharon Torello and were always impressed with her work as photographer and videographer. Sharon really stepped up for us offering creative solutions on capturing the feel of a live performance as well as capturing beautiful imagery from the spaces in which we performed. All round, we knew we could count on Sharon to deliver a visually satisfying production that hopefully matched the musical standards we were going for. "
— Matthew Glandorf, Artistic Director of Choral Arts Philadelphia and The Bach Festival of Philadelphia
"Working with Sharon Torello has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. During the editing process, she listened not just to what I wanted, but also paid attention to what I needed, and the result was something we both can be proud of. Sharon is a top-notch collaborator with high quality equipment and a keen eye for what works in social media, and I can't wait to work with her again!"
— Maren Montalbano, mezzo-soprano
