. . . [Nyela Basney is] a very interesting conductor [who] impressed me greatly. The maturity with which she spoke, the naturalness of her demeanor, her intelligence, her marvelous sense of humor . . . she took over, on very short notice, the Shreveport Symphony, conducting almost all the concerts in the season, a very demanding schedule and repertory . . . and impressed the board and the musicians . . .

—John Nelson, conductor, Metropolitan Opera, Indianapolis Symphony, Caramoor Festival
