—Richard Felciano
“Music, like literature and the other arts, is in addition to its magnificent history an ever-growing expression of the human spirit. This spirit is embodied in new music. ALEA III provides the premier venue in Boston for the performance of new music. If ALEA III did not exist, it would have to be invented. Thanks to Theodore Antoniou, ALEA III does exist. We are all in his debt.”
—John Silber, Chancellor, Boston University

—Richard Buell, The Boston Globe
"Alea III gives a perfect answer to 'What's new?'"
—The Boston Globe
"Dear Alea,
What a memorable concert. To hear a mini-survey of a master's works (still so rarely performed) and in such superb performances - I cannot guess how much rehearsal time was given to mastering these complex compositions. The large audience listened with rapt attention and the word I heard from the exiting crowd was 'wonderful, just wonderful.'
Thank you so much"
—Morty Schnee, audience member
