THE STRAD: Concert review: Momenta Quartet, Eric Umble (clarinet)

”With guest clarinettist Eric Umble, the group gave a reprise of Alyssa Weinberg’s Still Life (2018), inspired by Picasso’s 1911 Still Life with a Bottle of Rum. Though no rum was on the premises, it might be a fine companion for the first movement – an addictive mix of peppy string pizzicatos, as the clarinet percolates above. In the subdued second movement, Umble gave a masterclass in sustained multiphonics, with the strings often in briny sul ponticello.”

NEW YORK ARTS: New York Theater Ballet REP at Florence Gould Hall, April 27, 2018: A Centennial Bow to Jerome Robbins

“Concertino was the most exhilarating work on the program especially the performance of tiny, flashing Mayu Oruri. At some points she seemed like a little steel drill, displaying beautiful balance, control and musicality, gracefully partnered by Andino-Nieto and Melendez, the whole sparked by the lovely clarinet of Eric Umble.”
