| 6-Dec-2012 Columbia University, Miller Theatre | Defining experiences: Olga Neuwirth in portrait at Columbia University's Miller Theatre |
 When it comes to contemporary music, the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) has made great strides in their ten-year history, premièing over 500 compositions and performing not only in New York and Chicago but in venues all over the world. ICE’s director and flutist Claire Chase was recently named a MacArthur recipient – fittingly awarded when one considers Ms Chase’s relentless devotion to bringing new and experimental sounds to wider and wider audiences.Read full review... | |
| 13-Aug-2012 Royal Albert Hall | Prom 42: Prokofiev, Neuwirth and Bartók with the Philharmonia |
 As I write this, I have just realised that someone in a neighbouring flat is listening to some rather loud jazz, a man is shouting outside, probably at the car alarm that has just gone off, and there is a bee buzzing around my room.

| 15-Feb-2012 Konzerthaus: Mozart Saal | The Klangforum Wien bring depth to Cerha and Neuwirth |
 The Klangforum Wien is such a disciplined ensemble that for them ever to be remotely fazed or challenged by a piece, even those works with Ferneyhough-like unfulfillable demands, is scarcely imaginable. That the non-physical playing and preternatural calm works alongside their commitment to absolute precision and never sounds passive, or worse, antiseptically scrubbed into oblivion, is what makes them one of the world’s finest contemporary music ensembles.

| 11-Feb-2012 Southbank Centre: Queen Elizabeth Hall | Knowing Nomi, Knowing Olga Neuwirth: 'In Portrait' with London Sinfonietta |
| There can't have been too many concerts ever which have started with a setting of Gertrude Stein and ended with an extra-camp version of 'Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead'. The London Sinfonietta certainly broke a barrier or two on Saturday night, that's for sure. And they did it with great style, introducing the UK to three works by Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth in an 'In Portrait' concert which certainly kept the crowd guessing.
