Thank you to Julie Ingelfinger & The Boston Musical Intelligencer for such lovely thoughts about Sunday's performance of Street Antiphons with the Boston Chamber Music Society!

“Pierre Jalbert’s 2015 Street Antiphons filled the Hall with drive, mystery, reverence and invention. A BCMS (Commissioning Club) gem…it has enjoyed much praise since. Challenging contemporary work such as this expands our understanding, and in the combination of the inspired playing by de Guise-Langlois on both clarinet and bass-clarinet, joined here by superb pianist Max Levinson, and accomplished violinist Alyssa Wang and gifted cellist Ramakrishnan, enlarged our enjoyment as well… Beckoned by the performers, the composer took to the stage amidst thunderous applause.”
