Quotes:
"...what makes the record (J. Eastman’s Femenine on Kairos) stand out—what makes it brilliant, really—is music director Chris McIntyre's synthesizer. It fills the bass floor and reaches across the registers occupied by other instruments. It dances through the forward motion."
Stereophile (Oct. '24)

"Chris McIntyre’s new edition of [Julius Eastman's Trumpet]... successfully brought across the vivid variety of approaches in many Eastman works."
New York Times (Feb. '18)

"Chris McIntyre has played a signal role in the much heralded recent rediscovery... of works by Julius Eastman" New Yorker (Sep. '18)

"Christopher McIntyre brought formidable sensitivity to parts that were often painfully self-effacing"
New York Times (June '15)

"The Fifth [Berio Sequenza], for trombone, limns the instrument’s capacity for robust humor with melancholy undercurrents; Chris McIntyre gave full measure to both in a poignant interpretation."
New York Times (Dec. '10)

TILT Brass, a "vital new-music ensemble"
Time Out New York (Aug. '10)

"...with every passing week, trombonist-composer Chris McIntyre becomes more central to the new-music experience in New York."
Time Out New York (Nov. '09)

"...the most important and engaging individuals are often those who serve a sinuous and binding role, i.e. those whose work within the field codifies a disparate mass into this thing that we call 'the new music community'. Chris McIntyre is one of those people."
NewMusicBox (July '09)
