Linda Gerstle — From the Top Director of Education
"The program, with its commitment to framing the concert
experience in new and unexpected ways, is a model for 
expanding current and engaging new audiences.  As they 
engage their audiences in what it means to be a classical 
musician, Brian and Michael are inspiring role models for 
the upcoming generation of musicians."




Thomas Handel -- New England Conservatory Dean
"The program reminds us that classical music is not only 
relevant to our society, but plays a central role in how we 
understand the world around us.  This combination of musical 
artistry and spoken scholarship gives us a unique opportunity 
to re-consider our world, through deep contemplation and 
lively engagement."

Tony De Ritis — Northeastern Music Department Chair
"Reichman and Kaufman represent a rare mix of cultural 
sensitivity and entrepreneurship; this powerful duo has a knack 
for using music to bring people together in order to discuss and reflect upon important issues facing society today. Together 
they work tirelessly to make us more aware, and the world a 
better place — they are definitely ones to watch!"

Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) — Composer, Speaker
"...the concert event is about the artist, an audience, and our 
world. I felt like I was part of a world community, on a stage 
and in a sacred space full of thought, sweat, rage, hugs, 
handshakes — and some good food, too!"

Jason Belcher -- Commissioned Composer
"Everything behind the program makes it a great endeavor — 
new music, an exchange of ideas, the teamwork, and the variety 
of bridges that are built in the various modes of discussion. This 
all has to do with today and moving things forward to tomorrow."

Gregory Nicolett -- Commissioned Composer
"From the beginning, Brian and Michael exhibited both the 
vision to curate an artistically relevant event as well as the 
organizational skills to see it through to the end. Ultimately, 
the performance speaks for itself, and I could not be happier 
with our collaboration."
