"Guest Conductor Robert Treviño – all of 26 years old – left a considerable impression in his CPO debut with incisive and thrilling direction… he is clearly a conductor to watch."
Bryant Manning, Chicago Classical Review

"Under Trevino, the rich and burnished strings were as attractive as ever. Trevino dug in vigorously for the hour-long work and never looked back, shaping a fluid and buoyant account of this sprawling and lyrical opus. Heavy sonorities trumped all and sounded particularly gorgeous."
Bryant Manning, Chicago Classical Review

"...the performance Thursday by the Millennium Chamber Players from Chicago should be remembered as a worthy outing. The big item was Eight Songs for Mad King, an avant-garde classic of 1968 by Peter Maxwell Davies. Never mind "eight songs." …The exhausting piece (with music-hall elements as well as much hardcore "mad" dissonance) made its point. Conductor Robert Treviño paced it with assurance."
Arthur Kaptainis, Montreal Gazette

"Robert Treviño [with the Millennium Chamber Players]...put on a strong and affecting staging of Britten's small-scale The Rape of Lucretia in January and a string of operas by lesser-known composers through the spring, as well as a chamber-music concert that mixed new music in with standard repertoire. Such youthful impudence makes a night at the opera fun - and, at the very least, unpredictable."
Marc Geelhoed, Time Out Chicago Magazine

"…rich, symphonic sounds emanating from the Ohio Light Opera pit under Trevino's baton started with an illuminating reading of the overture, and continued to lift the production to the final chorus"
Thomas Harper, The Alliance Review
