 RECENT REVIEWS:

Breakdown  "Brouwer responded [to the film images] with speech-inflected melodies and sharp-witted musical puns."  --Steve Smith, New York Times 2/23/09

Concerto for Violin and Chamber Orchestra 

"...superb offering by Margaret Brouwer, one of our best composers, and certainly near the top.  This Violin Concerto, written specifically for this ensemble, is simply a marvel to hear, combining phenomenally difficult solo passages with some of the most ingratiating melodies I have heard in a recent composition...  She is not afraid of the modern idiom... but at the same time never loses sense of that fundamental and essential musical ingredient called melody."  --Steven E. Ritter, Fanfare, May-June, 2008
