Review of ARCTIC SYMPHONY:
“The Arctic Symphony is a mature and atmospheric work that firmly establishes Ho among North American composers of note. It is a beautifully thought-provoking way to promote the message of climate change.”
“Exhilarated, the audience responded with a standing ovation — and while most of us will never get to the Arctic, Ho’s personal interpretation of the region and its plight will continue to resonate.”
