Praise for Dave Malloy's "Ghost Quartet"

To mark the 10th anniversary of Dave Malloy’s cult-favorite song cycle Ghost Quartet, Death of Classical reunited the show’s original cast for a pair of hauntingly beautiful performances at Green-Wood Cemetery. As thunderclouds loomed above and gravestones tilted in quiet witness, Malloy, Brittain Ashford, Gelsey Bell, and Brent Arnold delivered a spellbinding experience that critics can’t stop raving about.

“The brilliant music of Dave Malloy, regardless of categorization, is just good... Death of Classical brought Ghost Quartet's original foursome of singer-instrumentalists to Green-Wood Cemetery last weekend to celebrate the 10th anniversary, against a fitting backdrop of an ominously dark sky and leaning gravestones. They were all in top form: Malloy’s bright vocals and expressive finger work on keyboards; Brittain Ashford’s husky and Gelsey Bell’s honeyed sounds; Brent Arnold’s mastery across string instruments.”

“At the Ghost Quartet, the ghosts were not something to be feared; like Malloy's entrancing, enveloping score, you want these spirits to haunt you.”
— Playbill

“The hugely talented original quartet — Malloy, the velvet-voiced Brittain Ashford, the soulful Gelsey Bell, and the animated Brent Arnold — were reunited. More than a decade onwards, their performances have only grown deeper and more layered with age and experience. They remain vocally ravishing, capable of both delicacy and muscular pyrotechnics, as needed. Collectively, their work amounted to an ensemble effort that thoroughly captivated.” — Interludes
