2015 FINALIST:
“[Dinuk] has a remarkable facility and flexibility. More specifically, what he’s able to do so expertly is articulate a mix of sounds and a mix of worlds. It’s exactly the kind of piece that appeals to me, and it’s the kind of direction I like to see composers who are writing for chamber music go in.” – Roman Borys, the GRYPHON TRIO
