Brad Lubman
(his) ability to quickly understand how to make a piece of music work, and the skill with which he conveys that to an ensemble is extraordinary... His conducting technique is eloquent, fluent, solid, clear and musical. He is naturally expressive and his music-making has an elegance which is personal and compelling. - Augusta Read Thomas,Composer in Residence, Chicago Symphony Orchestra
