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
