"The crisp new recording sounds great".
Anne Midgette –The Washington Post on "The City"
“The Post-Classical Ensemble may be the most thought-provoking music group in town . . . using its concerts as laboratories for musical thought experiments. Their performances can be demanding-- but they're invariably beautiful, and never dull.”
- Stephen Brookes, THE WASHINGTON POST
“In a brief introduction, Joseph Horowitz, the artistic director of the Post-Classical Ensemble, said that crossing boundaries is what this group is about and may be a key to the future of classical music. This program showed exactly what he meant.”
- Joseph McLellan, THE WASHINGTON POST
“A welcome, edgy addition to
the musical life of Washington.”
- Daniel Ginsberg, THE WASHINGTON POST
