Reviews

“Showcasing their commitment to contemporary composers...commissioning highly effective pieces that make the most of their rich sound and exacting standards. Pieces with a foot in the past celebrating vocal tradition but also finding ways of challenging expectations and refreshing the ears.” - BBC Radio 3, Record Review

“Singers pulled chords out of the ether and the two sopranos worked hard to provide a continuous high gloss ending to this extraordinary piece.” - Bachtrack on Dani Howard’s Unbound
