TREVOR WESTON's Reviews:
"…gently syncopated marriage of intellect and feeling."
Detroit Free Press, Detroit, MI. January 27, 1998
"…simply gorgeous, image-provoking music…"
The Post and Courier, Charleston, SC. June 1, 2002
"Harmonic idioms were inventive and fresh with a rewarding sense of phrase length and enticingly beautiful orchestral colors."
Columbia Free Times, Columbia SC. June 12-18, 2002
"The program began with "The Gentlest Thing" by Trevor Weston, a lovely, meditative setting of lines from the Tao Te Ching. Its central conflict between gentleness and hardness was beautifully represented by luminous major triads, brushing repeatedly against harsh dissonance, the meaning increasing and intensifying as the piece gradually unfolded."
San Francisco Classical Voice, San Francisco, CA. November 9, 2002
"Trevor Weston's Compositions always reveal an elegance of expressive surface detail, a lucid formal structure, and often, an unexpected and innovative quality that reflects his refreshingly imaginative musical personality."
The American Academy of Arts and Letters, New York, NY. May 21, 2003
