I can do nothing but sing the praises of the performers involved in this production. Conductor Arthur Fagen keeps the complex score moving along at a good pace, and produces an exemplary tight ensemble.

Indiana performance, conducted by Arthur Fagen, brims with telling detail and vibrancy.

The Indiana University Philharmonic Orchestra is spectacular under Arthur Fagen; the student instrumentalists render Rands’s finely etched score and its cascading musical detail with a level of precision that any professional orchestra could be proud of.
Joshua Rosemblum, Operanews, August 2017
Arthur Fagen, the effective soloists and the amassed Indiana University singers and musicians all give us a convincing and intense reading of the score.
Gapplegate Classical Modern Music Review
Much praise must go to the orchestra which, together with the chorus, make such a vibrant ending to the first act.
