Press from MTA's 2009 Summer Festival
"Holy cow. It's Palestrina, vocal music written half a century or so before Henry Hudson sailed up the same river into which the Esopus Creek outside flows. This Palestrina stuff is not easy to sing well. These people must be very good at what they do. I feel prickles up and down my spine....Theatrical moments worthy of the Rocky Horror Show pervade the Collective Opera Company performance. Expectations in regard to form do not apply here."

"Along with conviction in the work of Mount Tremper Arts, including its second summer festival of international-caliber artists, founder Mathew Pokoik has a little something extra: stubborn determination.'He’s got it in buckets,' said co-founder Aynsley Vandenbroucke, also his wife."

"New Yorkers get a reason to escape upstate for some downtown art. It's closer than Jacob's Pillow."

"In true do-it-yourself New Yorker fashion, the choreographer Aynsley Vandenbroucke and the photographer Mathew Pokoik have started a multidisciplinary arts center in the Catskills complete with residencies and this festival. Who doesn't want to escape to the Catskills? Artists like robbinschilds and the Collective Opera Company are just the icing on the cake."
