Chronicle Live – Concert Review 

“Frederick Viner has written a ravishing piece which uses the orchestra in an expressive and interesting way. The harmonies and textures he draws from Mozart’s original aria are constantly engaging and the piece has a clear structure and sense of purpose. I would certainly want to hear this piece again.” – John Casken

(18th January 2016) – University of York Press Release

“We are delighted that Frederick has been selected for this prestigious competition.  Fred is an outstanding student.  Last term he played the Rachmaninov 2nd Piano Concerto with our University Symphony Orchestra.  His composition is very sophisticated, and it is no surprise to us that he was selected by Royal Northern Sinfonia.  We hope he wins!” – Roger Marsh
