''…Manuela Meier’s [music] bristled with movement and impulse, throughout, the antiphonal exchanges between the two percussionists a delight to the senses. […] The composer treated us to a plethora of timbres and colours and what seemed to our 'insectified' ears like a stunning range of dynamics, from the whisperings of wood against a smooth metal edge to the harsh complaints of friction-making textured metal surfaces […]. It all had the feeling of some kind of inner reality, akin to the flowing of blood, impulsings of a nervous system or an intelligence network processing sensory responses.''

''Concert: Emerging Austrians
Mahler, along with his young compatriot Arnold Schoenberg, was certainly one of the dominant compositional voices in fin-de-siècle Vienna. But who are the emerging Austrian composers of today? This concert at the ACFNY features a program of world, US, and NY premieres by Austrian composers Manuela Meier, Elisabeth Harnik, and Bernd Klug, who will be performing with his American creative partner Meaghan Burke.''

''Concert: Emerging Austrians
Mahler, along with his young compatriot Arnold Schoenberg, was certainly one of the dominant compositional voices in fin-de-siècle Vienna. But who are the emerging Austrian composers of today? This concert at the ACFNY features a program of world, US, and NY premieres by Austrian composers Manuela Meier, Elisabeth Harnik, and Bernd Klug, who will be performing with his American creative partner Meaghan Burke.''
