Dear Helen, Thank you very much for that excellent coverage of the Munich Opernfestspiele you made possible. I think the regular visits of the major critics really help. I had an especially nice lunch with Alex Ross last Saturday. I think Munich is now seen as a champion's league player in the American media. Many thanks again! |

| Helen Kamioner is, to say it in a few words, the best PR person on the market. Not only has she the best contacts but she also makes good use of them for the benefit of the Artists she is working for. Where others fail, she succeeds because she has a vision which goes beyond the ordinary boundaries. | ||

| Helen Kamioner is one of a rare handful of artist's press representatives who are at one and the same time knowledgeable about the artists they represent, the music and art forms that motivate and inspire them, and the types of stories and interviews that might actually interest me and my readers and listeners. Also a woman of great character, charm, intelligence, humor, and professionalism, I would recommend her services without reservation. | ||

| Helen Kamioner is no less than a miracle-worker. Her contacts in the media are unlimited and the respect of these media which she has so justly earned through her unwavering devotion to her clients result in a publicity machine without comparison. The publicity campaign she organized for my New York debut interviews on public radio, notices in TIME OUT NEW YORK and in OPERA NEWS were outstanding, and, the nex plus ultra, an interview with Matthew Gurewitsch which resulted in a two-page article with photos in the Sunday NEW YORK TIMES. | ||
