Reviews
- “
"...an important American voice who deserves further recognition and performances..."

"...all of the performances are excellent... This is a welcome exploration of chamber music beyond the usual string quartet or strings-with-piano format. All the works withstand the test of repeated listening, revealing different facets with each hearing."
