"Their name says it all: RECONSTRUCTION is synonymous with renovation, modernization and transformation."
El Siglo de Torreon
"RECONSTRUCTION's audience friendly, occasional laugh-out-loud funny antics serve to heighten, rather that distract from, the musical experience. The show updates the troubadour tradition into an experience custom designed for the adventurous concert-goer."
TimeOut New York
"RECONSTRUCTION: the name represents the reinvention of two musical epochs, the result is a true marriage of Baroque and Contemporary music."
Azteca21
"An entertaining show!"
The New York Times
"Amusing and appealing. Blendulf and Chatham are instrumentalists who are anything but background players.
The well-matched singers' performance was an elegant, refined moment to be savored."
The Sacramento Bee
"Utter perfection of musical technique and conveyance of musical intention."
The Arizona Republic
"Rigorous musicianship. Individually distinctive voices that blended beautifully. A fresh, sexy and captivating concert."
The Oregonian
"A talented and successful spin on Baroque music."
DePauw Gazette
"RECONSTRUCTION not only reproduces the music of the Baroque, but transcends it in a unique and very appealing version of this music. The quality is undeniable, without a doubt this is a good show. An incredibly clear blend delights all of the listeners, and the narrative is distinctly feminine. Three great voices, Baroque cello, harpsichord, 2 Baroque guitars send the spectator to the time of the troubadours. They are great performers, and even without the majority of the public understanding the languages, RECONSTRUCTION was able to guide the audience to understand their intentions. From moment to moment one hears subtle glints of jazz, and at these moments they break through the boundaries of chamber music performance. The group was given such an ovation that they came back on to give the audience one more gift in a little extra piece."
El Siglo de Torreon
"The group has the quality to dazzle the public with every type of repertory of chamber music. This quartet possesses the virtuosity to play original instruments and sing with voices that give distinguished interpretations of Baroque compositions. RECONSTRUCTION is not only unlike any other ensemble, it is one that is truly excellent, and presents a perfect and diverse program."
