"Sal Ferrantelli--what a treasure he is. As a choral conductor, he enriches every piece of music with an intuitive depth of understanding, always seeking to realize the full musical potential from every genre of music, sensitive to every phrase, every musical gesture.
Sal’s original compositions are full of modern harmonies and challenging modulations, but are always rooted in choral tradition. There is beauty in every line, no wasted notes, every musical expression fashioned to enhance the meaning of the piece as a whole.
As a teacher he has been a role model for hundreds of students—work hard at something you love, have an ideal in mind and seek to realize it with all your heart, do your very best and be proud of your accomplishment.
Sal Ferranteli—a man with a heart full of music."
