"Brouwer has a talent for taking the simplest melody and through her expansive array of compositional techniques, develop it into a polished musical gem. And even when employing a twelve-tone row, Brouwer never ventures into the realm of compositional gimmickry. Every note she writes has musical purpose." - ClevelandClassical
LISTEN
In April 2022, Naxos released a new album of Brouwer’s recent works titled “Reactions: Songs and Chamber Music”
“Brouwer’s gift for melody, and her ability to weave together contemporary idioms with lines that allow the instruments to sing, make her a composer for whom chamber musicians (and listeners) should be grateful…The emotional range of the music is remarkable, spanning passion, despair, and humor; the musical language is modern yet tonal enough to (literally) strike a chord with contemporary listeners…a compelling collection of works composed between 2005 and 2020 that could hardly be more timely” - Melinda Bargreen, EarRelevant
