"Rarely – if ever – has one been to a musical event, where everybody in the house and onstage were just smiling at how good and meaningful it all was.

"For one could but marvel – and enjoy – the thorough grasp of the music by the Signal members, whose focus, commitment and buoyant craft was without peer."

Thank you Jari Kallio for this very nice review of Signal's performance of Reich's Music for 18 Musicians at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum! 💙💛❤️💜💚
