MONTAGE MUSIC SOCIETY Starry Night Project: Music Based on Visual Art

“Richly colored music inspired by some equally colorful art.…illuminating (Starry Night)…absolutely delicious (Seurat)…sumptuously lyrical (O’Keeffe)…purely joyous and exuberant (Gauguin)..”

“..an effective and natural unifying idea which musical organizations and concert presenters frequently use to inspire both their audience and themselves.”

“Stylish…(the) playing is elegant ….well conceived and presented ….
recommended for lovers of new chamber music who don’t necessarily prefer the avant-garde, and who like some programmatic spice.”

STARRY NIGHT PROJECT •
Montage Music Society

“…consistently excellent music that can easily stand on its own without reference to the artworks that presumably inspired it...Harris’s Starry Night suite and Andrew List’s Gauguin-inspired Noa Noa, constitute some of the finest chamber music of recent vintage I know…
Performances are top-notch, especially the focused expressiveness of cellist Marc Moskovitz. The recording…deserves special mention for its exceptional clarity, perfect balance, and natural sound environment…”
