    Press Reviews
    "Her music lies squarely in the high-modernist tradition. It is searching, intense and full of integrity." - American Record Guide Sep./Oct. 1995 "The inspiration in these works draws upon a rich variety of art, literature and history amalgamated beautifully into a musical concept." Computer Music Journal Winter '96 "...Marked by liminescent colors, interesting timbral combinations and images that play off one another like a sonic kaleidoscope. Below this surface charm is music made with great care; those who wish to ponder deeper levels of construction will not be disappointed." Stereophile - March '91. "Her music is balm to the spirit" - William Bergsma
