"Carol’s music is transcendent and able to capture a myriad of experiences."
Keith Brinkley - Baritone
"Carol Koffinke's music is both accessible and fresh, full of surprising and beautiful sonorities and creative rhythms that make the music come alive through her texts."
Karen Harvey – Conductor, Pianist, Composer
"Carol's music electrified the audience during one of one of our most successful concerts in a decade. It was an honor to present an entire program of works by this illustrious composer."
Timothy Steele - Conductor, Pianist, New England Conservatory Faculty
"As a composer, Carol crafts music that highlights the many ways of communicating through tessitura and tone that allow a singer to utilize their full range, but also sensitively sets the text in ways that suspend the depth of the poetry interwoven with the harmonic complexities in the score - her music is a singer's dream."
Alexandra Dietrich, Mezzo Soprano
