“The creative combination of musicians, composers, and dancers reflected a unique aspect of the New York new music scene… The results make a rich fabric, and generally attract a fuller and more extensive audience to embrace it, exuberantly.”

“Overall, this was another home run program for Ear Heart Music. Its focus on the visual arts provided a compelling narrative, without diluting or dumbing down the musical content.

Not to be overlooked, though, is EAR HEART MUSIC, a feisty contemporary-classical concert series organized by the flutist Amelia Lukas, which opens Wednesday at Roulette in Brooklyn. While in Manhattan, Ms. Lukas piloted impressive events on a shoestring budget. Roulette offers greater resources, and Ms. Lukas is taking advantage in an ambitious season filled with premieres and cross-disciplinary collaborations”
