“Early music, filtered through modern sensibilities, opened the proceedings. Gabrieli’s antiphonal music was skilfully adapted by the young American Kathryn Salfelder in Cathedrals, where separate brass choirs on opposite sides of the stage provided a real-life stereophonic effect that audiophiles could only dream about.”

“For me the most memorable work was the brilliant Cathedrals (Boosey and Hawkes) by Kathryn Salfelder, still a student at NEC. This was selected as the 2008 ASCAP/CBDNA Frederick Fennell Prize Winner for young composers of concert band music, and also the Walter Beeler memorial Prize, awarded by Ithaca College.”

“Can you bring in a crowd for a concert of brand-new classical music? You can if the concert is adroitly showcased like the Minnesota Orchestra's annual ‘Future Classics’ event….[T]he audience favorite Saturday was Kathryn Salfelder's ‘Dessin No. 1’...”

“Kathryn Salfelder’s Dessin No. 1 had the remarkable ability to use modest musical ideas in an unfolding form that felt both inevitable and brand-new. We were able to visit familiar musical material and, as a result, felt as though we had been taken on a journey to terra incognito and returned home again, changed by the experience.”

-Randall Davidson, composer
