Review: TENET
May 16, 2018
Jon Sobel, Blogcritics.org

“The musicians of the small ensemble Tenet benefited from the superb acoustics of the manor’s small concert hall…[T]hroughout the concert, Tenet’s three primary voices shone… The contemporary folk music scene and the Early Music scene intersect more than you might think. Tenet proved it decisively with this program – and with such sublime musicianship that I hope they preserve it for future concerts.”


Review: LORELEI ENSEMBLE
February 19, 2018
Jean Ballard Terepka, Theaterscene.net

“Emanating from an intersected space of elegant discipline and powerful virtuosity, Lorelei’s vocal tone is remarkable…With unerring savvy for finding the right composers with whom to collaborate, these singers do indeed have ‘rainbows wrapped around’ their shoulders. New York City is lucky that the Five Boroughs Music Festival brought Lorelei down to us from Boston.”

July 1, 2015
Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, The New York Times

Review: Five Borough Songbook Manhattan Premiere
January 23, 2012
John Yohalem, Opera Today

“[O]n this occasion [the composers] often seemed to channel the wisecracking New York wit and the nostalgic art largely missing from Broadway for the last generation.”

January 15, 2012
Allan Kozinn, The New York Times

“With 20 composers involved you might expect every current style to be represented. Quite a few were… [I]nventive approaches to taking the city’s pulse were plentiful.”

The Song of the City
October 8, 2011
Olivia Giovetti, WQXR Operavore

“[T]he true impact of the Five Borough Songbook was its juxtapositions and musical landscape, creating neighborhoods that are distinct but which sit on top of one another bringing out inherent comparisons and contrasts.”
