"Most festivals want something new, but are also are unwilling to programme whole concerts of contemporary music. This one is refreshingly different". DAVID MATTHEWS
"The idea that the 'almost impossible second performance' forms the core of its repertoire is one that should be copied up and down the country. My own experience was wonderful. Highly professional, enthusiastic and charismatic performances of three of my pieces garnered excellent reviews for both the music and the players." TOM INGOLDSBY
"I attended two out of the four concerts of the first Second Glance Festival which included two of my own pieces: both received superb performances, and I was also able to hear eleven other pieces by seven other living composers, all of them extremely interesting." DAVID MATTHEWS
"The audience was warm and enthusiastic, and as this group of concerts, and the Bolivar Hall (a splendid venue for chamber music), become better known, they ought to become an important date in the music calendar." JOHN CASKEN
"Your commitment to performances of existing new music is very special and cuts away from the hype that surrounds first performances to engage with the music as an on-going part of artistic life. The performances were exemplary in their approach and artistry. All a composer could hope for really." STEPHEN MCNEFF
