Awards and reviews

Christmas Issue 2022

[Nova's] voice can bloom richly but is often tenderly restrained, while she brings a crystalline clarity to the occasional stratospheric highs of Muhly’s score...Underpinned by a subtle but vibrant score for quintet, [the Socolofsky] is a distinct and moving work which offers a fascinating snapshot of contemporary America.
