 "Young provides modern string textures with harmonics and considerable orchestral variety, in mildly dissonant surroundings.  And he does so in dramatic fashion.  When pentatonic passages occur, they are tastefully blended.  Obviously he worked hard to be stylistically consistent. Bravo!"

"Young's lushly romantic score, in particular, is highly effective in giving the work a kind of filmic grandeur that the choreography sometimes lacks..."

"CPAA resident composer Phil Young provided music that not only laid the platform upon which the dancers could emote, but could easily stand alone as an outstanding modern work. 
It's an Epic!"

" - - - Silk Empress. Meijer pours herself into the gliding, purring, sensual, East-meets-West music of
Phil Young (who was in the house this performance) as if it speaks to her on every level. "
