“Pictures on Silence is an exemplary new music group. Pollauf and Getz’s skills… secure their place in the field [and they] play with nuanced style and impressive technique all in service of the music.”
-Megan Ihnen, The Sybiritc Singer

Pictures on Silence “enthralls with debut CD Voyage. [In this] well-programmed introduction to their technical mastery [and] interpretive depth … not only does the duo shine while sailing through lyrical lines; but, they both feverishly attack challenging rhythmic passages.”
-Megan Ihnen, The Sybiritc Singer

"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
