New York Times
“…Daniel Bernard Roumain is creating a miracle…”
New York Sun
“From rock clubs to symphony halls, the composer, musician, and performer Daniel Bernard Roumain seems unstoppable.”
The Australian
“With styling reminiscent of Terence Trent d’Arby and Lenny Kravitz, DBR combines a rock-star persona with a musical approach that does for amplified violin what Jimi Hendrix did for electric guitar.”
The News-Gazette
“If anyone can bridge classical symphonic arrangements of yore with modern day hip-hop and make the iPod generation appreciate it, it would be DBR… he’s the Eddie Van Halen of the symphonic world.”
The Times-Union
“…it’s hard to imagine anyone else coming along with such a fluency in the languages of rock, hip-hop and classical as well as such a winning stage presence.”
Vancouver’s North Shore News
“… he shows what it means to push boundaries of musical genres to new heights.”
Washington Post
“Roumain’s compositions are as much an amalgam of musical styles as they are blend of culture and history.”
Crain’s New York Business- Top 40 Under 40
“Most classical musicians don’t run a business the way he does.”
New York Times
“The violinist and composer Daniel Bernard Roumain is about as omnivorous as a contemporary musician gets.”
Time Out New York
“Daniel Bernard Roumain is a virtuoso violinist who has used hip-hop to lure students into concert music; his Voodoo for Violin and Chamber Orchestra could pull from Hendrix and Bartok without missing one phat pizzicato beat.”
Chicago Sun Times
“Roumain is an entrancing performer, confident and polished, able to make his richly amplified violin sing, shriek or seduce.”
