from Serge Zehnacker's Farewell Concert: NCSA's Kids Play Like Pros, Classical Voice of North Carolina
By William Thomas Walker
"Where Keonig took advantage of the ensemble's lush textures and curious timbral effects, Schmitt showed off the quintet's ability to carve out clean contrapuntal lines. At one astonishing moment, Ford (cor anglais) and Gao (soprano saxophone) joined together in a perfectly tuned unison to sing through a lilting melody. The effect was breathtaking – a reedy but completely unfamiliar tone color emanated from the stage in a beautiful and potent illustration of the reed quintet's unique capabilities."
