On False Perspective reviews
01/06/2014
"On False Perspective got us off to a strong start...Josephine Stephenson's music was full of elegant and atmospheric strings, made eerie with lustrous woodwind. The vocal line was always beautifully drawn...resoundingly positive for the future of opera as an art form with relevance and vitality for the modern age"
Bachtrack
"Stephenson's score...never merely 'depicts'; it contributes to the drama, as good operatic music should"
Boulezian
"a touching scene set to music sensitively by Stephenson"
Classical Source
"clever and engaging"

"keep an eye out for the names here"
