| "I am glad because she plays my music. Myroslava Kotorovych – is a hope of Ukrainian performance art. She has high professional level, and extraordinary musical talents, but her main feature is persistence. I will not be surprised when she receives world success…" |

| "Myroslava Kotorovych does not look like a star or a teacher of National Music Academy of Ukraine. The first thing that draws attention is her eloquent eyes, which combine childish sincerity and womanish elegant coquetry. And only when she takes her violin, starts playing and plunges into some peculiar world, you understand that you see a Master, an Artist in front of you. Myroslava can speak about State chamber ensemble “Kyiv Soloists” for a long time, this is not because the group was founded by her father, famous violinist and teacher with a God-given talent. She is an integral part of this excellent group of soul-mates, whose concerts turn into small performance and theatrical play. That is why tickets for their performances are always sold out, and grateful audience, despite good manners, cannot suppress emotions and bursts into applause even between parts of the production. This delicate girl manages to give concerts, tour, teach and even organize special music programs. Recording her album “Creation” she tried to tell about herself by means of music." |

| "Was Myroslava Kotorovych, co-leader and first fiddle of the perfectly balanced orchestra “Kyiv soloists”, leading glam to classic or vice versa – presentation of “Creation” was impressive. It was held in PinchukArtCentre, where music benefited from architecture… Disk was produced by the soloist and included book-diaries-thoughts instead of conventional scrupulous editor’s comments with checked dates and names of biographic references… Disk includes impressive Skoryk’s melody, brought by conductor Bogodar Kotorovych to perfection, Stankovych’s Cradle and his Chamber Symphony No 3 for violin and string instruments – performed in a new, drive way –it is likely to be favorite music among those performers. In Shuman’s Violin concert in A-minor – the soloist is light, orchestra is bright and volatile the emotions flow in correct waves so the finale reaches the deepest parts of our soles. The most interesting music is three plays of Khachaturyan… performed by chamber orchestra." |

| "Myroslava Kotorovych continues to modify philharmonic concerts, in a soft and respectful way, like in the best homes, where you are primarily bewitched by communication. “Creation”, which, like previous performances, is referred by Myroslava to music novels, besides music includes everything that longs for theater: speech, plasticity, actors, costumes and light. Though the theatre is domestic, which fortunately gave rise to music and not vice versa. " |

| "Music novels “By Stairs” are a part of “Violin Theatre” of charming Myroslava Kotorovych and string orchestra “Kyiv Soloists”. Novels are not simply played, they become dramatic performances. Myroslava often addresses audience by means of mysterious epigraphs…" |
