"Both 'Seeing I' and 'Why Imagine Golden Birds?,' the Stevens dance, are set to scores by John Stone that have all the quiet eccentricity and evocativeness of the choreography"
-Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times (2000)

"The whimsical, playful music of 'Pineapple Soup!' was created by composer John Stone."
-Kara Mayer Robinson, The Record (2005)

"Anthony's recent showing of works at The Construction Company was richly enhanced by gifted composer John Stone, who not only created energizingly atmospheric music for each dance piece, but also composed piquant art songs that were performed as entr'acte offerings. Anthony and Stone are intellectual artists. Their collaborations are inspired by close readings of poetic literature and find their vitality in celebrating cerebral enterprise."
-Lisa Jo Sagolla, Back Stage (2000)

"As always, the music composed by John Stone provided just the right blend of evocative melody and nutty dissonances."
-Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times (2002)

"Though Anthony's portrait of Prufrock is precisely drawn through symbolic gestures, Bill Irwinesque clowning techniques, and eccentric dancing, her portrayal of the role is keenly enhanced by John Stone's musical score, in which one clearly 'hears' every ache and befuddlement of Prufrock's pitiable personality"
-Lisa Jo Sogolla, Backstage (2004)

"...heartbreakingly exhilarating music of utterly arresting beauty."
-Prof. Mitch Miller, Vassar College (2006)

"The lights dim. The stage brightens. On zooms John riding his unicycle. A quick circle of the stage takes him to his spot at the electric piano. From overture to the last note, his playing is filled with personality and fun."
-Michael Oakes (2005)

"Do I Dare? is set to a very effective score by John Stone..."
-Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice (2004)
