MainspringHere are a few things that people are saying...

"Mainspring set the stage with an elaborate presentation of an assortment of musical flavors. Murchison’s mirthful demeanor guided the audience form piece to piece as he and Mainspring played a fusion of Irish jigs and reels, scalar melodies of Polynesian/Indonesian influence, Latin tango, Jamaican reggae, and German polka. Mainspring’s performance can be best described as musically clever, entertaining, exciting, and crowd-pleasing."
Brent M. Harvey
Review of International Tuba/Euphonium Conference, 2006

"Mainspring's performance at the University of Central Arkansas was a spectacular event. This is world music that is fun for all, and a one of a kind experience to hear. Led by world class euphoniumist Matthew Murchison, the only fault is he makes it look too easy as he and his talented flutist spouse (Pamela), race up and down virtuosic exotic scales and melodies. Their guitarist, Micah Burgess, also contributes with tasteful jazzy interludes that makes for a fine evening of fun. If you have any preconceived thoughts on what a euphonium can do, prepare to have them shattered!"
Dr. Denis W. Winter

"Mainspring was a big hit at [University of Texas-Arlington]! These skilled musicians combine their great talents with a unique level of creativity. The variety of styles and instrumentations was impressive and highly entertaining. There was never a dull moment!"

"Thanks so much for sharing Mainspring with our students and faculty. I thoroughly enjoyed the music and presentation."

"I thought your group's performance was amazing."
