“Michael Battle is an extraordinarily talented young pianist/composer who also resides in Fort Lauderdale and the riveting performance of his lush and “firey” compositions was truly breathtaking. It is no doubt that Michael Battle is destined for a bright future as a performing artist and our guests this evening had the rare priviledge of experiencing this world class musician/composer personally in the intimate and interactive setting of The Venetian Arts Society’s “arts salon” atmosphere.” – William Riddle of “Inspired Interiors. 8/4/11
