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)
