REVIEWS

“However, the highlight of the evening was yet to come…Stunning in lyricism and originality, this gorgeous and profound creation stands as a shining example of how contemporary compositions need not be thorny and inaccessible.”
The Florida Times-Union

“simply beautiful…The orchestrations are richly complex, replete with color, and underlay the solo role of the cello perfectly: balanced, tasteful and resilient.”
