SELECTED REVIEWS

“[Vox Musica] proved, once again, it has the facility to jump into the musical unknown by daring a new spin on the ancient, and adding a compelling sheen to the fresh and new.” -Sacramento Bee, December 2007.

“The recent arrival of the choir Vox Musica to the Sacramento music scene is also indicative of the talent moving into the area that highly values new music. This eight-woman choir, under the direction of Daniel Paulson, devoted almost half of the programming of its first season to showcasing the work of living composers, both local and international. And next season promises a similar mix.” – American Music Center, July 2007.

“[Vox Musica] sang the dissonances of [Cesar Alejandro Carillo’s, Ave Maria] with a delicate touch that deepened the profundity of this evocative piece.” – Sacramento Bee, December 2006.

“[Vox Musica] threw down a breathtaking performance of my “Three Nightsongs” last season.” - Joshua Shank, Composer, August 2007.

“Its hard to imagine that [Vox Musica’s] expressive and tonally focused turn on Holst’s classic “In the Bleak Midwinter” has been done any better.” – Sacramento Bee, December 2006.

“Vox Musica’s performance of my “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” was smokin.”- Kurt Erickson, Composer, December 2006.

“This new vocal ensemble is a welcome addition to the Sacramento music scene and they proved it by delivering the goods on a smartly selected program by director Daniel Paulson. Choosing vibrant and temporally relevant works by six living composers to counterbalance choral masterpieces proved a smart move in the presentation of this concert.” – Sacramento Bee, December 2006.
