Austin American-Statesman, David Mead

Dialogues of the Carmelites, April 2006

"This production's artistic center of gravity was conductor Garrett Keast, demonstrating Friday evening how a conductor's strong technique and right artistic sense draws the constituent efforts into focus, making the best use of what is right and minimizing what is not. He got artistically superb, if not flawless, playing from the orchestra."
