"Roi Aloni is by far our most popular speaker (and we have many, on different subjects). He entertains and teaches with music, stories about composers and their works, both classical and modern. His knowledge of these subjects is extensive and his delivery is clear and often very humorous. His virtuosity on the piano never ceases to amaze and entertain. His choice of subjects is widely appreciated by our audience. He has the ability to interact with his audience and we eagerly await his every performance.”

“Having a most rewarding career of 43 years as a bassoonist with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, I retired to a home for the elderly where we enjoy lectures of diverse sorts. Without any questions, the most liked lectures are those of Mr. Alony….. These lectures, very interesting, well prepared and researched, comprise the personal history of composers, their works and are also interpreted with many amusing anecdotes…We are always looking forward for his lectures, they being interesting, lively and full of humor.”
(Walter Meroz, ‘Ahuzat Rishonim’, August 2004)
"As a graduate of the music academy in Jerusalem, and a very gifted pianist, Roi Aloni brings to the listener a world of knowledge in various categories of music, from classical through all its genres to Frank Sinatra and Edith Piaf. His lectures combine artistic, historical and sociological aspects while linking them to the music world. He introduces to the audience various musical styles, composers, and performers from Bach to the Beatles and in between…. Roi has tremendous charisma. The audience immediately responds to him. He presents his lectures in a fluent, articulate way building them up with fascinating approach. During the lectures Roi plays recordings of musical masterpieces and also demonstrates on the piano with his astonishing skills."
(Ofra Wenkert, cultural manager of Bait Bakfar, August 2004)
“Dear Roi Aloni, You no doubt have heard all the praises which your grateful audiences have bestowed on you and to which you richly deserve. You are a talent musician, accomplished pianist, with a wonderful sense of humor. Your ability to receive from your audiences such remarkable responses demonstrated in so small way the cheering and clapping you receive from them. But what I really want you to know the Mitzvah you bring to all of us. I have watched you audience leaving at the end of your performance ….. We all leave with great good feeling, that our troubles are forgotten….. Thank You!“
(Dennis Goldstein, Protea Village, October 2004)
“Dear Roi Aloni, Your lectures here are extremely popular, as you probably gather from the way our audience welcomes you upon each of your performances. However, your recent lecture of “The Last Composition” did not only create enjoyment but also great excitement…. You brought Beethoven back to life, made us feel the heart-beats of Symphony no. 9, and for that we thank you….. Thank you for your magnificent lectures. I don’t know many people who can bring so many listeners to the world of classical music.”

“It is with great pleasure that I write the subsequent lines. I am a professor of Psychiatry (ret.) at the Tel Aviv University and also trained in music therapy. Mr. Roi Aloni, pianist and lecturer of Classical Music is known to me since considerable number of years. He appears once a month before our audience… and delivers lectures on Classical Music. Mr. Aloni is not only a gifted pianist but also endowed with an extraordinary gift to express him self verbally. He succeeds in deepening our understanding of music, illuminates his presentations with historical and biographical data and in that way enriches our understanding and appreciation of the various compositions. I strongly recommend him for your audience, he is excellent. “
