⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you BBC Music Magaz

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you BBC Music Magazine for this amazing 4 Star Review of Hymns for Private Use! @bbc @musicmagazinepics @bbcsounds⁠
⁠
"The Akropolis reed quintet has rightly won plaudits as a sonically daring ensemble who specialize in performing new works with charisma and integrity.⁠
⁠
The quintet has a wonderfully fresh sound which proves an ideal match here for the mellifluous voice of Shara Nova. Her voice can bloom richly but is often tenderly restrained, while she brings a crystalline clarity to the occasional stratospheric highs of Muhly’s score.⁠
⁠
An intriguing new work by Annika Socolofsky, so much more, completes the disc. Underpinned by a subtle but vibrant score for quintet, the result is a distinct and moving work which offers a fascinating snapshot of contemporary America."⁠
⁠
It's an honor to be included in this international publication! ⁠
