This group of musicians has a collective wisdom and maturity which is singularly impressive … Affinity is a musical force with which to be reckoned.
Richard Gill OAM
The young ensemble thus sets in motion a perfectly coordinated machine that takes the listeners between their wheels and releases them breathlessly.
Süddeutsche Zeitung, Germany
…. Marked by industrious determination, the race to reach the all-too-sudden finish line as well controlled and resulted in an exhilarating finale – a worthy crowning of a decade of hard work and artistic growth by four gifted musicians.
Tony Way, The Age, Melbourne
