ALEA III Press
"I believe in Antoniou and I will heartily endorse and help any project dear to him, since what is good for him is inevitably good for music."
—Leonard Bernstein
"I enjoyed so much the beautiful performance by ALEA III of my Ancient Voices of Children. Each time Theodore Antoniou delivers a bravura performance of my music. I wish ALEA all the best success for the future."
—George Crumb
"What a wonderful program you put together which included An American Decameron. And what a fine performance you gave the three movements of my piece! In my music, one must, as Boulez says "wait for the resonance" and jump constantly to the new sound. It is a part of my style which many people have not understood and you understood it immediately. I'm not surprised! And the soprano did a beautiful job—please thank her for me."
—Richard Felciano
"You've done so much for so many. I hope Alea continues forever. ALEluiA!!!"
—Lukas Foss
"What a blessing for us Bostonians to have Theodore Antoniou's Alea in our midst!"
—Gunther Schuller
"Music, like literature and the other arts, is in addition to its magnificent history an ever-growing expression of the human spirit. This spirit is embodied in new music. ALEA III provides the premier venue in Boston for the performance of new music. If ALEA III did not exist, it would have to be invented. Thanks to Theodore Antoniou, ALEA III does exist. We are all in his debt."
—John Silber, Chancellor, Boston University
"Seven premières expertly performed... Day-to-day life could not be sustained at such intensity. What a joy to be there."
—Richard Buell, The Boston Globe
"Alea III gives a perfect answer to 'What's new?'"
—The Boston Globe
"...Antoniou's name is synonymous with contemporary music."
