"Aditya concentrated on exploring, in a stately and serene manner.... It was not only technically correct but also aesthetically pleasing.... he produced a beautiful image.... seemed to put the audience in a trance."

"The first half of the evening had two of our very own Canadian-born, dashing and debonair artistes, Vineet Vyas of Atlantic Canada on the tabla and Aditya Verma of Quebec on the sarod. Starting out with Raag Charukeshi, the duo kept the audience spellbound with their complete mastery of their respective instruments as also their compatability on stage."
