New York Times, May 26, 2011‎ — Yehudi Wyner’s accessible, amusing “Mad Tea-Party,” a setting of a scene from “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” closed the concert, with Ms. Slywotzky playing an astute Alice, Mr. Blumberg as the Mad Hatter, and Mr. Murphree as the March Hare. Here the concert’s palette expanded somewhat: the singers and Ms. Kampmeier were joined by Harumi Rhodes, violinist; Katherine Cherbas, cellist; and Jennifer Grim, flutist. They gave the music a bright, lively reading.

Patch, May 15, 2011 — Under the direction of senior Kaitlin Donnelly of Winnetka, the 10-member a capella group, “Microscope,” will perform a number of their competition pieces, including Shir Ha-Shirim  by Yehudi Wyner and Faith is the Bird That Feels the Light by Elizabeth Alexander, which earned the group a Gold rating award at the National Heritage Festival competition. The combined choirs and orchestra will end the evening with Adiemus,  from Songs of Sanctuary by Karl Jenkins.

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology — Awarded the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for his Piano Concerto, "Chiavi in mano", Yehudi Wyner (b.1929) is one of America's most versatile musicians. His compositions include over 80 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, solo voice and solo instruments, piano, chorus, and music for the theater, as well as liturgical services for worship.

Harvard Arts Beat, November 8th, 2010 — As one who has had the transformative experience of studying in Harvard’s unique chamber music course Music 180 withYehudi Wyner and Daniel Stepner, I am happy to report on what the Boston Globe called the “keenly anticipated” premiere of Yehudi Wyner’s composition, Give Thanks for All Things for orchestra and chorus. The work had its world premiere on Friday, November 5 and Saturday, November 6 at Jordan Hall at New England Conservatory performed by the Cantata Singers and Ensemble and conducted by David Hoose, music director of the Cantata Singers. Give Thanks for All Things is based on two Psalms, poems by Richard Wilbur and Walt Whitman, a passage from Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, and the Breton fisherman’s prayer, “Dear Lord be good to me. The sea is so wide and my boat is so small.”

The Berkshire Review, October 27, 2010 — Yehudi Wyner, whose career as a composer and a performing musician goes back some sixty years, finds himself entirely focused on the present at the moment, and very positively so. For one thing, Bridge Records, who have issued the most substantial body of his work on CD, have released his collected sacred music, and Mr. Wyner is very pleased to have it all together in one place. Secondly, he is anticipating the premiere of a new work, a secular cantata called Give Thanks for All Things. As he explains in the interview we now offer as our latest podcast, the work didn't come to him easily, and, although he refuses to pass judgment on it until he hears it played before an audience, he is looking forward to hearing it performed by one of his favorite groups and conductors, The Cantata Singers under David Hoose. Beyond that, he is busily at work revising his Fragments from Antiquity (1978) for a performance by his favorite soprano, Dominique Labelle, with the Lexington Symphony in February, 2011.

In this podcast we talk mostly about Mr. Wyner's formative experiences at the American Academy in Rome, musicians and composers, opera production — yes,Regieoper, too — and his own music and the musical traditions he draws upon, above all his upcoming premiere.

New York Times, August 17, 2010 — Other flavors of accessibility included Yehudi Wyner’s plush, decidedly nonangular “Passage” (1983) and Steven Mackey’s “Gaggle and Flock” (2001), with its thick double string quartet texture and picturesque sliding string figures, both on Saturday. 

Huffington Post, February 24, 2010 — Yehudi Wyner is an approachable guy in a forbidding field: contemporary "serious" music. He gives us an opening here to ask where new sounds come from. In his case new music comes out of a sort of compost of the canon, from Bach to Bartok, and then everything else he's heard over 80 years, from his father's Yiddish art songs to boogie-woogie and gospel music. "Somehow it registers in the brain and has an effect," he says of the past. The other big thing you'll be hearing from Yehudi Wyner is that his music has its very bodily beginning in his hands. It's a physical, almost gymnastic test of what ten fingers can do, want to do, find themselves doing.

Life, January 31, 2010 — Composer Yehudi Wyner and daughter arrive at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards held at Staples Center on January 31, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.
