Akropolis is in @thewiremagazine! 🔥🔥🔥 Check out this killer review of Ghost Light! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"Playing together intensively for more than a decade, Akropolis Reed Quintet have evolved a collective voice that appears to be organically integrated. If their technical ability, its scope, precision and finesse, enables these five Detroit based musicians to gel as a unit, total trust has to be a vital factor too. There's nothing tentative in their approach, and that extends to their programming of multifariously challenging and imaginative new works.... Ghost Light finds this exceptional outfit audibly driven by real excitement and a sense of adventure." ~Julian Cowley⁠⁠
