Edward Markward

	"Performed in first rate fashion." Raymond Erickson *The New York Times*
“Ed is intensely passionate about music and conveys the importance of always creating the best music to both vocalists and instrumentalists. In the end, this translates to memorable performances of true merit.” John Campellone, Bass		"Dr. Markward doesn't just tell you how to be a better musician; He makes you realize for yourself how to be a better musician by helping you discover that your boundaries and limits are mere figments of your own imagination." Lucky Rattan, chorale member, private student
	"The performance was moving, full of consoling moments and lush well-balanced singing. But the surprising thing was how much nuance and sensitivity conductor Edward Markward brought to the requiem. This was not a performance full of fire and brimstone, but a comforting one, which was pretty much Brahms' plan." Channing Gray, Providence Journal
	"... he is not just a director, he is an educator...like any good teacher, Ed himself always seems to be learning and growing in terms of how he approaches the music, whether it be something new or an old masterwork. But the heart of the matter to me is that he has an evangelical desire for us to share his respect for our composers, his critical ear for detail, and his passion for the music. It is a privilege to sing with him." Andrew Foster, Tenor
