Press Responses:

Modiano’s electro-acoustic music for “Prisoner of my Projection” by choreographer John Ollom was described as: “[The] sound created a space that really felt like the inner life of consciousness. “ By Lynne Constantine, George Mason University, August 28th, 2013, USA
And
“Sparked by wonderfully evocative music from Yael Acher-Modiano”. By by David Noh, Gay City, August 29, 2013, New York City, USA.

Modiano’s Classical flute performance at the dance production “Summer Dance Festival” by choreographer Tim Rushton inspired journalists to write:
“[A] bold, daring Bach –solo by the flutist Yael Acher, which initiates the spatial body energy in the beautiful pillar-yard, with her crispy tones and her androgynous jacket suit movements.” By Anne Middelboe Christensen, INFORMATION, August 8th, 2013, Denmark.
And
“…When the dancer and choreographer Alessandro Sousa Pereira danced Tim Rushton’s piece, ‘Syrinx’, he danced as the seductive faun. A hot contrast to the beautiful flute that played enchanting Debussy, with a wonderful magical interpretation by Yael Acher” – Dans Kritik (Dance Critique), Monna Dithmer, “Gutter and Red Carpet”, August 7, 2013, Copenhagen, Denmark.
