"I believe it is important to know yourself, know your strengths and weaknesses, and to be aware of what season you are in. If you are in a season of winter, it wouldn’t make sense to plant seeds and harvest your bounty. But if it is your spring season, then don’t be afraid to bloom and celebrate the hard work that went into prepping for your reaping!" - Lewis Warren Jr.

"It’s a varied and changeable composition, beginning with reminiscences of Gregorian Chant, before becoming contemporary with jazzy elements and even pentatonic harmonies. A middle section contained a beautiful melody, and Ballade No. 2 ended with Debussy-inspired arpeggios and watery chords. The composer joined the pianist on stage and enjoyed some enthusiastic acclaim." - Sibylle Barrasso & Thomas Boss

"Dynamics and balances were carefully controlled, lines nicely shaped, motifs subtly tapered. Phrase logically led on to phrase, by extension or in contrast. There were high spirits where appropriate, gentle reflections elsewhere. And all this was the work of musicians put together just for this concert. The two sides of Schumann’s personality were evident but unforced. The quartet’s somber opening was played with aptly restrained vibrato; the slow movement yearned in melody and harmony. The scherzo and finale whizzed by with impressively taut coordination." - Scott Cantrell
