"...a
technically deft, adventurous ensemble"
Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times
"The performances are breathtaking...MOSAIC is
one of those crack New York ensembles where one senses that
a group of virtuosos have gotten together for the sheer pleasure
of making new music sound as good as any repertoire they might
otherwise play."
Fanfare Magazine
"Much
listening is often done with the eyes, even at a traditional
concert, but a performance on Saturday night at the Skirball
Center at New York University tipped the balance still further
toward the visual, with two new multimedia concert works performed
by the fine contemporary ensemble MOSAIC and its guests."
Jeremy Eichler, New York Times
"Together they're
like the smartest garage band you'll ever hear. MOSAIC has
the sand, the wit, and the skill to make this adventure work.
MOSAIC would appear to be a perfect word here: MOSAIC: At
home in any world, a timeless practice - bright, distinct,
individual tiles, formed in the aggregate to flow like water,
or threaten like a hungry dog, or speak of God."
Rinde Eckert.
"beautiful
and challenging program...I was immediately struck by the
vast range of styles and nationalities represented in the
program, and equally impressed by the audience's apparent
enthusiasm for it...Bravo to all for coming up with an enlightening
evening."
Dutchess Living
"Superb
program played with intelligence and edge...MOSAIC presented
a superb program of music, which quite delicately balanced
the individual requirements of each piece with the unmistakable
impact that each piece had on the other works in the program...I
was continually moved and affected by the relationship of
one piece to the next and found myself seduced, not only by
the raw sound of the musicians, but also by the intellect
that conceived of such a beautiful and challenging program."
