"…Beavers successfully has woven American vernacular music, from folk through jazz to rock, into traditional Western musical forms and come up with a trailblazing synthesis." Keith Kreitman
"Kevin Beavers’ new Songs from the Discovery has an aura and a haunting impact, with some dazzling orchestral colors to boot. It ranks among the most memorable of the world premiere commissions of the boldly enterprising California Symphony here. It leaves us a message for our times, with a capital M." Paul Hertelendy
"…Beavers composes from inside himself, creating from what he’s assimilated and made his own." Robert Commanday |
