ARTSFILE  Q&A ‘ Chamberfest: Marc Djokic masters a mix of metal, marimba and his violin’ – Peter Robb, Artsfile  (July 31, 2017)

‘Then & Now: Alumni of Debut Atlantic’ – Debut Atlantic  (June 2017)

“Astonishing…   a certain inevitable perfection to his playing, as if he could not make an error or fail to deliver a single nuance to a note. Christopher Bergland, an ultrarunner, calls it superfluidity: “… a state of performing with zero friction, zero viscosity, and superconductivity — it is a state of absolute harmony and endless energy.” That’s the zone where Djokic was, stepping squarely into it each time he picked up his bow.”    The Buzz, PEI

“Sparkle,” by Matthias Maute for solo violin, set the diverted on a more abstract tangent, with spritely figures crackling from the wood of Marc Djokic’s instrument. I was left appropriately wanting more, much like fireworks and other things burning brightly…” — Curtis Perry, I Care if You Listen (August 6, 2014)

“…du violon de haut niveau. L’héritage musical est là, évident à chaque instant: dans le sens rythmique, dans le phrasé naturel, dans la sonorité égale…”  
– Claude Gingras, LaPresse
