“Regina Harris Baiocchi‘s Orchestral Suite is a fine, three-movement mix of anti-war fanfare: ‘Against the ODS,’ a poignant lullaby: ‘Mother to Nique’ and climactic ending: ‘Thunder!’ Maestro Leslie Dunner lead Detroit Symphony Orchestra in an exciting concert…”

“In African Hands [hand drum concerto] by Regina Harris Baiocchi the [ashiko, bata, conga and djembe] drums easily cut through the orchestra, providing sage and dignified utterances. Baiocchi’s finely-wrought orchestral music has an aggressive edge and delicately lyric passages. This all-too-brief work was successfully executed  by percussionist Ruben Alvarez.”
