"The Classic Fair Isle Festival was a success simply due to CHROMA. It is not often a composer gets to work with such a friendly, focused, accurate and energetic ensemble. Their enthusiasm for contemporary music brought the whole island alive and indeed, the northern community still rave about them today." Alastair Stout
