Feedback and Reviews

Audience Feedback

"Great to have some uplifting music by your fabulous ensemble!"

"...always enjoy your passion and the joyous journeys you take us on!"

"Your concert lifted my spirits. I enjoyed it so much."

Apeiron Shares Its Afternoon Delight

"Baroque music... has a reputation for beauty but austerity, and in less joyful hands can be a little samey. The unbridled enthusiasm of this particular ensemble always dispatches that concern, and is tremendously engaging."

"...a chirpy Presto, mournful Andante, and an exuberant Allegro Assai featuring a cheeky (psych!) false coda the audience loved."

"...so perfectly matched that I thought of Fred and Ginger – completely complementary, neither upstaging the other, each adding lustre to their counterpart."

"Apeiron never fails to entertain. Douglas Adams described the Sunday afternoon hours as “the long, dark tea-time of the soul”. Well, here’s your panacea."

Afternoon Hours: LIMELIGHT

"The sense of freedom and enthusiasm projected by seven very fine instrumentalists proves infectious."

"Perhaps fittingly, the ensemble finished with the Allegro from Vivaldi’s Concerto in G minor, allowing an unbridled – even over-the-top – finale to a thoroughly entertaining program by seven masters of their instruments."

"Not everything was perfectly precise, but that was almost the point. The sense of freedom and enthusiasm projected by seven very fine instrumentalists was the more special experience."
