"The concluding movements of the work made clear why Tin is a multi-award winning composer. Upper voice writing was haunting and hazy; in a sea of sweeping cinematic sounds, evocations of darkly sinister storms, rolling waves and foreboding clouds were shot through with sparkling lights in the high strings. The final song, ‘We Overcome The Wind,’ was an outpouring of joy; a unanimous standing ovation evinced the sense of togetherness at the heart of this concert." —York Press
