Com­po­si­tions
from The New York Times:

Con­rad Winslow’s string and wind sex­tet “Fly­ing Pat­terns” injected a touch of har­monic thorni­ness and rhyth­mic vital­ity into the pro­gram. More inter­est­ing, though, was his “[Pin­ning] Music,” an atmos­pheric explo­ration of meaty lower brass tex­tures, com­plete with sub­tle slides and jux­ta­po­si­tions of muted and open tim­bres, expertly played by the trom­bone quar­tet Guidon­ian Hand.

from Sym­phony Mag­a­zine:

The [Vio­lence of Rag­time] has a fun, bounc­ing qual­ity to that is, at the same time, not far from irony. As the piece builds, ten­sion grows, with the ele­ments of rag­time implied by the title occa­sion­ally peek­ing through…The synthesizer…had been set to sound like a harp­si­chord, adding to the piece’s irony.

CAMP WANATACHI: A New Musi­cal
from The New York Post:

Weiss’ songs can also be very catchy, espe­cially as enhanced by Con­rad Winslow and Travis Stewart’s clever arrange­ments — the live eight-piece orches­tra fea­tures strings, horns and com­puter, and the syn­the­sized beats are par­tic­u­larly well used. It’s a sound we haven’t heard all that much from new musi­cals, and I for one would love more.

from Time­Out New York:

Natalie Weiss’s musi­cal, cowrit­ten with com­posers Con­rad Winslow and Travis Stew­art, is set at an all-girls sum­mer camp…although the cast does an excel­lent job…the live band may be the real stars of the show.
