"Transcendent."

Charleston City Paper

"The Living Earth Show's quartertones and toothbrushes invigorate classical music... Meyerson and Andrews captivated the audience like rock stars."

Post & Courier

"Dance Music unabashedly embraces the ridiculous and it succeeds every time."

WQXR

"The Living Earth Show tinkles pleasantly."

San Francisco Chronicle

"Roisterous, engaging, audacious."

San Francisco Chronicle

"Here was a group of poets who came from the communities hit hardest by these forms of systemic inequality, bluntly addressing their struggles to an audience of gentrification’s beneficiaries. And yet, even though Echoes confronted its audience with their place in this cycle, the show got a standing ovation – a hopeful sign that its urgent message was received."

KQED

"If you have that kind of long wavy hair which dries nicely to a session of headbanging then this will serve nicely."

MusicWeb International

"Each composition is the result of the pair working in parallel and counter-balance: guitar swirls upward to blanket the negative space left by the decay of chiming cymbal, while those triumphant pops of major key and bass drum radiate with the reactive glow of mutual thought."

ATTN:Magazine

"The most unique ensemble to come out of the San Francisco Conservatory."

The San Francisco Examiner

"They cover vast sonic territory, and they take the stage with neither safety net to catch ‘em nor sheet music to consult… yet they manage to play (unison and counterpoint) with seemingly-telepathic ease."

Imperfect Fifths

"I especially loved the Living Earth Show."

Lies Like Truth

"A fantastically distorted perpetual motion of awesome."

I Care If You Listen

"(The Living Earth Show) exhibited enough vision and energy to make them a much-sought-after presence on the indie-classical scene."

The San Francisco Classical Voice

"The tongue-in-cheek juxtaposition of the title High Art with the charmingly sophomoric album cover photo belies the deeply committed, totally focused playing of guitarist Travis Andrews and percussionist Andy Meyerson. In live performances, the musical communication between Meyerson and Andrews is at times astonishing and has the feeling of being completely natural."

NewMusicBox

"A vanguard effort of new chamber music."

The San Francisco Examiner

A Semi-Festive Letter

Hey y’all,

Thanks so much for coming to the first few shows of our San Francisco season! We had an absolute blast (though my back still hurts a bit from the flog-fest that was Amadeus Regucera’s percussion solo I premiered last week).

The shows these past few weeks have felt really powerful: it has been an honor to share such intentionally challenging work, written for us by some of the most provocative artists making music today, with such curious, receptive, and enthusiastic listeners. Thanks for your support, your enthusiasm, and for, as always, being down for whatever.

Thank You!

Hello Everyone,

First off we want to thank everyone who was able to join us on November 15th as we kicked off our 2018-2019 season! It was such a pleasure for us to work with artists who are making some of today’s most urgent music, and we were honored to share that music with so many of you. We spend this time of the year thinking about all of the things for which we are thankful. This year we are very thankful for our collaborators, who are making work that we feel is vital, necessary, and beautiful, and to all of you supporting us as we launch into our ninth season.
