Reviews of Sospeso’s re-debut at Issue Project Room
Feast of Music:
“Keyboardist Nicholas DeMaison, best known as the director of Ensemble Sospeso, and flutist Amelia Lukas performed with grace and solemnity, holding the audience in breathless suspension for the entire three hours. Mr. DeMaison displayed fluidity and dexterity, and his voicings of Feldman’s trance-like chords were spine-tingling. Ms. Lukas performed the extremely difficult flute part with ease and smooth tone…”
Seen and Heard International:
“Crucial to the success of For Christian Wolff is the stamina and long-term vision of the performers. Lukas and DeMaison never once let up their focus or weakened in energy.”
