"Listening to the Midnight Quintet afforded so many pleasures: countless beautiful noises, seemingly effortless coordination, impressive radar for each other's intentions, willingness to reach for vivid expression, and a lovely group spirit." John Steinmetz, Composer; Principal Bassoon, Los Angeles Opera
"The
Midnight Quintet is a first class musical ensemble with superb blend,
intonation, and balance. Whereas in many chamber music groups, there
are significant differences in instrumental skill among the individual
members, the MQ is made up of stellar young artists who share a common
view of music making. They play with honesty, verve, and charm. Were
gusto their only attribute, the Quintet would be fun to hear. What
stands them much higher on the performance totem pole is the fact that
they are also extremely adept technically. They played movements from
the Carl Nielsen Quintet last week at a Thornton School Convocation and
took the room by storm. It was among the finest presentations I can
remember at this event, which has been held annually for more than
fifty years." Larry J. Livingston, Conductor, Orchestral Director at USC
"The Quintet demonstrated the highest artistic standards...as a member of Chamber Music America Board and Chamber Music Sedona Executive Director, I highly recommend the Midnight Quintet."
Bert Harclerode, Chamber Music Sedona Executive Director
"This group is white hot! They come together to form a rare combination of warmth, sensitivity, and expression. The Midnight Quintet is sure to thrill audiences of all ages."
Dr. Kristy Morrell, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra
"I
recently heard The Midnight Quintet perform and was amazed by their
sonorous sound and technical wizardry. It is clear that this is a very
special mix of talent, with each member contributing a great deal of individual personality to his or her music making. They play with sensitivity, elegance and an abundance of expression, and I eagerly look forward to their next performance."
Sharon Lavery, USC Wind Ensemble Conductor
