“In their
performance of this difficult and expressionistic work, all three players
were not only on top of their own game, but also were flawlessly in sync as
an ensemble.”
Marcus Kalipolites - Times Herald-Record,

“Your performance was a true joy . . . The quality of your playing
was of the highest order . . . The blending of instruments, the interaction
among the three of you was indeed a marvel to behold.”
Howard Garrett – Presenter
The Grand Montgomery Chamber Music Series,

“L’Ensemble Portique played the first concert in our second season
of Prairie Crossing’s Early Music Series. The piece they chose prior to
intermission was La Follia by Corelli. Luckily this is a relatively lengthy
piece as I have never been so moved by music before and did not want
the music to end. I felt such great pleasure listening to the sounds of the
recorder, cello and guitar. From the concert’s setting in an
old barn to the expertise of the musicians’ skill and
finally to the composer’s timeless musical creation transmitted to me
from centuries passed, I knew I was indeed a fortunate listener. This
is music to savor!”
Stan Rosenberg, Event Manager

“Lisette Kielson (guest recorder player with the Milwaukee
Symphony Orchestra) made every little wave and eddy of it sparkle with
life.”
Tom Strini –
Classical Music Critic, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"The concert's two Telemann duets for recorders,
sonatas in canon No. 2 and No. 3, were a combination
of steel and velvet, the pitch of each note clearly
heard but cradled in a softened edge."
Wynne Delacoma - Classical
Music Critic, Chicago Sun Times
“Excellent concert! Everything I expected
. . . delightful.”
