Testimonials
This was a taut, intelligent, artfully lit show, with some sensational playing from the young violinist Barbara Barros.
It is greatly to the credit of Melopoetica that they can successfully re-introduce such music to modern audiences and present it with flair and virtuosity.
Bárbara unfolded a torrential energy showing that she is one of those interpreters that knows that the score is not a sacred text and immutable... the inventiveness, the fantasy and the wisdom exceeds her
We were impressed by the imagination and color in your programme ... Your playing has charm and exciting individuality
