Some notable reviews and comments about CarolinaClarinet

John Lambert (Raleigh NC) ~ A leading critic in North Carolina, and founder of the Classical Voice of North Carolina. (From a review published 11/10/2004.)

"These artists are all pros … The program was distinguished … the form (clarinet quartet) is at once viable and worthy of serious consideration by music lovers … The playing at once demonstrated the excellence of the artists as individuals and as a team … The performances were serious and showed high levels of technical proficiency and musical insight … There's much to celebrate about CarolinaClarinet, so here's hoping the group returns"

Hank Beebe (Portland ME) ~ A student of Vincent Persichetti, and notable New York composer of many very successful musicals. Dozens of his musical theater works and over 300 of his choral works have been published and performed world wide. 

"Terrific ... compelling … satisfying. Good work. The quartet did a sterling job with the rhythms and making the chords sing. Their intonation is very professional. Clarinets do not give you a lot of room for placement of the note, and they found the right spots repeatedly."

Richard Bowles (Gainesville FL) ~ Composer of dozens of works for symphonic band, and Emeritus Head of the University of Florida Music Department.

"Wonderful! Music is so much fun when it's played properly."

Milton Bliss (Raleigh NC) ~ Composer of many works for chorus, orchestra and band, and emeritus faculty of NC State University Department of Music.

"Very professional. Truly excellent. An impressive performance. The Raleigh music community deserves to hear more of CarolinaClarinet"
