"engaged and thorough, the interpretation [of the members of the ensemble] achieved a pure and homogenous sound. The impression they left was a confirmation of the potential for successful cooperation between the musicians with affinities for contemporary music and the composers...
The well-thought, unusual but interested programme enabled the musicians to show their abilities... This inventive programme concept created a "musical arch' with somewhat ethnic elements...
Through wonderful lyrical and meditative mood, the neo-impressionist character of the piece was presented in a creative and sensitive way.
The effective colabboration that the conductor Pascal Gallois established with this ensemble was evident. The attention to phrase shaping and the expression through well-crafted sonority, served as a background on which the vocal interpretations were reflected. Such success might be due to the conductor's experience; the sincerity of communication and the directness of his expressiveness might be a result of Gallois' rich musical career"

"The constant increase of intensity filled the space of with a potent and vibrant sound, leaving a strong impression with the audience... the musicians have shown their potential as soloists within the individual melodic lines, but also in the perfectly synchronised sequences of tutti-sections...
It is important to emphasise the role of the conductor Pascal Gallois who, with evident dedication and respect, galvanised the musicians' involvement into a unified sound, drawing out the maximum creative and artistic potential of the ensemble."
