“Ms. Thomas once again demonstrates her knack for illuminating text with colorful, evocative gestures … In Prairie Sketches I, which includes harp and a chorus of three female voices, Ms. Thomas revels in the poet Suzann Zimmerman’s paean to a sweeping Kansas landscape with music by turns radiant and ethereal.” Steve Smith, The New York Times
