What They're Saying about Juventas...
FANFARE THE MAGAZINE FOR SERIOUS RECORD COLLECTORS
Juventas Ens: VOLLINGER Raspberry Man. Emmanuel Changed on NAVONA by David DeBoor Canfield Full Article "Performances by...the Juventas Ensemble are first-rate. Not everyone I know is fond of speech music, but those who are will find much to admire in this finely produced disc. Accordingly, highly recommended." BOSTON MUSICAL INTELLIGENCER Juventas & Schola Cantorum Marry Old & New by Vance R. Koven Full Article "In collaboration with Schola Cantorum of Boston, on November 18th at St. John Evangelist Church on Beacon Hill, Juventas offered a work by Josquin des Prez as a point of departure for new works that referred back to the sounds and concerns of earlier ages...The performances were apt and unobtrusive to the overall effect. Marc Donnelly, alto, in particular impressed with a beautifully floating descant solo..." BOSTON PERFORMING ARTS EXAMINER Intermezzo [and Juventas] performs "Rocket's Red Blare" at Agassiz Theater by Melanie O'Neill Full Article "...an enjoyable performance and an excellent effort on the part of the cast, all of whom sang exquisitely and tastefully." NEW MUSIC BOX New England's Prospect: Looking Backward by Matthew Guerrieri Full Article "The mentorships proper began with the influence of György Ligeti. The man himself was represented by three movements of his early, snappy Musica Ricercata (as played by Julia Scott Carey, crisp and fluent but also curiously solemn and distant) as well as two movements from his Sonata for solo viola (which Emily Deans dispatched with abundant flair)." BOSTON MUSICAL INTELLIGENCER Current Opera: Juventas's Light and Power by Peter Van Zandt Lane Full Article "One of the really refreshing elements about this production was that, unlike what seems to be the norm of many modern operas, the breaking of time and the shifting between reality and abstraction was handled with a careful sense of clarity." MISS MUSIC NERD Light and Power: Electrifying Opera by Miss Music Nerd Full Article "There was nothing amateurish about this production, though. Costumes were period-perfect, the singing was rock-solid, and sets and lighting were spare but inventive." BOSTON MUSICAL INTELLIGENCER Bring On Da Groove—Juventas Digs It by Vance R. Koven Full Article "...The Juventas program presented young composers (that’s what this group does, after all) seeking inspiration in the worlds of rock, jazz, bluegrass, and other elements of American popular music, all to be manipulated by classical procedural means." BOSTON GLOBE 'One Light' ventures beyond holiday tradition David Weininger Full Article "The holiday season is virtually synonymous with tradition, and that goes for music as much as anything else...But two local new-music groups are trying to inject something fresh into what can be a rather stale bill of fare." BOSTON THEATRE REVIEW Murmers from Limbo by SMR Full Article "Juventas pushed the envelope, and pushed the boundaries of the audience’s expectations." |
