What the press says

L’Orfeo – Queensland Music Festival

“The musical direction, under harpist Marshall McGuire, was meticulous. Under McGuire’s assured guidance, Ludovico’s Band…illuminated emotional extremes from elation to dark despair and gave lithe vitality to the celebratory opening scenes.”

“The band’s use of echo effects and shading…was exquisite.”
