“Seeing and hearing Zelek in action helps explain why praise follows the organist everywhere.”—Isthmus
“Zelek, however, is the glue that holds everything together and is also the reason why the concerts can be labeled entertainment. Because they’re not just music; they are joyful productions. Zelek is a performer, not just a musician.”—Channel 3000
“Zelek was physically animated throughout the performance. His hands flew across three levels of keyboards while his feet worked the pedalboard like somebody playing Dance Dance Revolution in an arcade.”—Wisconsin State Journal
