“Living up to its name, the Fresh Voices Festival presented a truly amazing selection of new works by San Francisco Bay Area composers and librettists.... Not only is the concept great but so is the quality of musicianship in both the vocal and ensemble performance. Artistic director Harriet March Page and musical director Mark Alburger, tireless champions of new music, demonstrated an energy and vision that was truly astounding. . . .Goat Hall Productions with its innovative programs is proving to be an essential part of the music scene of San Francisco.” -- William Susman, 20th-Century Music
“. . . .I hope that such enjoyable musical theater will eventually find its way even further throughout the region. I’m sure I speak for all the audience when I say I didn’t want it to end!” -- Allan Crossman
