Quotes


"Jacqueline Pollauf and Noah Getz form the perfect combination of technical virtuosity and musical depth. Instead of taking an obvious route, they explore a wide range of styles and push the limits of what one might think possible for this instrumentation. The effect is texturally compelling, and beautifully luminescent."
—Courtney Orlando, violinist, Alarm Will Sound

“I was impressed by their professionalism, stage presence, and thoughtful interpretation. Their ensemble playing was impeccably coordinated, and they gave a polished, vibrant, and convincing performance.”
—Dan Lippel, guitarist, International Contemporary Ensemble

"Pictures on Silence is a gift to the 21st century composer, offering a fresh sonic palette and a genuine commitment to new music. Their seriousness of purpose is matched by the depth and assurance of their playing." —Judah E. Adashi, composer
