“Kelly wields a potent and evocative palette. Here is a composer who knows the almost visceral effect of a shift from minor to major and the strange beauty of traditional harmonies subtly impinged upon by layers of dissonance, a symbol for our troubled times if ever there was.”
William Dart / Review of Stabat Mater – NZ Herald
“With this Stabat Mater, Kelly further establishes her place as one of our most significant composers, one whose music has the capacity to move and engage audiences on a deep and personal level.”
Elizabeth Kerr / Review of Stabat Mater – Five Lines
