“Gregorio Luke gives cultural lectures with the fervor and reverence of a missionary hungry for converts…He slips into a trance of extemporaneous eloquence. He closes his eyes, tilts his head back, puts his arms out and seems to lift off the podium.”

 “Gregorio Luke gives the most extraordinary lectures that can be seen on Earth. I have never seen anything as instructive or moving as his presentations on great artists that he makes even greater with his words.”

“Who would have ever believed lectures could get so popular. Gregorio’s Luke’s lectures combine the scale of film, the excitement of theater and the exhilaration of learning.

“Simple adjectives can’t describe the theatrical experience his audiences receive each time he stands before them. We are talking of a professional scholar, one who knows his subject so well, he doesn’t even need notes. By accompanying his talks with fabulous video imagery, historical detail and authentic music, he presents the artists with such passion, they come to life before your eyes.”

“Gregorio Luke is a lecturer on the arts unlike any other. To say Gregorio’s enthusiasm is infectious would be both a cliché and an understatement. His enthusiasm is torrential…he covers a broad swath of history- cultural, intellectual, and political—with the same vivid brush stroke.”

"Luke has the talent of bringing art to life and lives to art. By combining projection technology, high-intensity oration, and magnified scale he uses his own artistry to educate and inspire generations of new and future artists."

 “What a revolutionary thought, to make museum-goers happy with eloquent and passionate talk about art. No multimillion-dollar facilities, no blockbusters, just love and faith in the power of art and art alone. What a daring concept.
