“Give credit where it is due; the International Cultural Foundation has helped the New York City Symphony become one of America’s finest orchestras. The NYCS played Carnegie Hall, apparently for the first time in its 63 year history, and gave outstanding performances under its alert music director, David Eaton.”

“The New York City Symphony and its excellent conductor, David Eaton, served the piece honorably.”

“Maestro Eaton clearly conducts with erudition and showmanship.”

The New York City Symphony at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall: “The alert performances conducted by music director David Eaton were virtually faultless, as usual.”

“The New York City Symphony: rest assured it’s a very good one as proved Monday under music director David Eaton. Tone was solid, intonation right on the button and virtuosity no problem — rousing performances, most eloquent and beautifully performed.”

“Shimmering, beautiful sounds. Careful and sympathetic performances conducted by David Eaton.”

David Eaton “was the picture of the proper conductor, flamboyant in his baton work at the podium.”

“At the direction of internationally acclaimed conductor, David Eaton, it was a night of breathtaking performances by the young students of the Harlem School of the Arts accompanied and mentored by the astounding New York City Symphony.”

“Eaton’s set of modernist variations [performed at Carnegie Hall], illustrate two qualities that distinguish him among modern musical minds; his broad gifts as a composer and arranger, and his willingness to take risks.”

“The National Symphony Orchestra (OSN) under the direction of David Eaton was extraordinary.”

“The New York City Symphony … resurrected in recent years to concert status under music director David Eaton, has won a place of honor for itself with both critical acclaim and popular support.”
