The Washington Post

​

All three works, though quite different in style and intensity, are beautifully crafted, and under Bayolo’s sure leadership Friday, all three got the kind of focused, intelligent performances a composer dreams of.“

Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim

The New York Times

​

But the star of Mr. Andriessen’s opera is the orchestra...where harp, bells and the airy voices of the Children’s Chorus of Washington floated in gleaming contrast to the dark timbres of hell.

Brett Abelman
