Press Quotes
“a superb contemporary-music collective”
“Dal Niente is a model of what contemporary music needs, but seldom gets, to reach and engage a wider public.”
“gifted young ensembles like Dal Niente are giving us an exhilarating way to experience the music of our own time. ”
“Dal Niente’s contribution is [to bring] hard-core Modernism up to date, with contemporary and even pop culture invited to the table, as long as the results are structurally rigorous and original.”
“What I saw and heard at Dal Niente’s performance last Thursday was, for me, more than a political statement. It was more than a treatise on intonation. It was more than any metaphor could have prepared me for.”
