Reviews
" ...Saturday's concert (Sonic Boom Festival)..featured a dozen new works by as many different composers, all played with poise and clarity by the Turning Point Ensemble"
- Alexander Varty, Georgia Straight March 23, 2006
"Conductor Owen Underhill has made Vancouver's newest new-music ensemble a marvel of empathetic precision, as displayed on the Debussy and also on Darius Milhaud's Petite Symphonie No. 2 , the "Pastorale"..."
- Alexander Varty, The Georgia Straight, August 12-19, 2004
"Rudolf Komorous: Strange Sphere...These sensitive performances confirm what beautiful shimmering music it is: enigmatic but wise in its gentle re-direction of our expectations, witting in its acknowledgement of the human comedy."
- Elissa Poole, The Globe and Mail, June 24, 2004
"This beautifully recorded portrait disc is a welcome addition to the discography of this significant and otherwise under-recorded composer (Rudolf Komorous)."
- David Olds, The Whole Note, June 1-July 7, 2004
"The Turning Point Ensemble may prove to be...among Vancouver's musical treasures, polished, original, and scintillating."
- John Keillor, The Georgia Straight, January 30-February 6, 2003
"...To sell unfamiliar music to an audience mainly consisting of retirees might seem unlikely...the group made a good showing for itself in terms of performance, of programming and in the matter of helping to make the music understandable."
- Lloyd Dykk, The Vancouver Sun, January 24, 2003
