The “Shalin Liu center [is]…beautiful to the eye as well as to the ear”
– James R. Oestreich, The New York Times

“Might the sound have been better (hard to see how) or worse without the shutters? That is for the festival to find out. Now it has not only a great little hall but a wonderful laboratory with  -- so far, it seems – each result outdoing the one before.”
– James R. Oestreich, The New York Times
