  "Infused with an eerie Gothic edginess, Gabrielle Lansner’s “the birch grove” paints a somber yet lovely picture of loss, love, and redemption. There’s a clean, sensitive elegance to both its evocative, emotional movements and beautifully framed scenes."

  “Lansner has a gift for creating vivid dramatic landscapes out of an almost seamless merging of text and movement.”
