Persis Parshall Vehar,
Composer
“Vehar’s music has honesty,
clarity and compositional skill” (Peter G. Davis, New York Times). “:Her work is easily accessible to even
conservative-minded listeners….very lovely music…. Some beautiful probing lines…..strikingly
heartwarming effect radiating optimism.”(Herman Trotter Buffalo News.)
"Persis Parshall Vehar's Sound-Piece...more jazzy and pointillistic...Both
serious and tongue-in-cheek, it integrates a wide and divergent array of
melodic material into a cogently worked out essay. Vehar, an accomplished (by the evidence
offered here) soloist, accompanist, and chamber player, has composed over 200
works. I'd like to hear more from her."
(William Zagorski, Fanfare)
