"(Forsyth's) music is an eclectic mix of elements of South African and North American folk music, a mix which produces a very personal style. His orchestral sense is, as one would expect with his background, superb...There is a simple, unaffected, honest expression to the music that at its best finds me more moved than by some music which may have more profound aspirations."
Dr. Karl F. Miller, Classical Net Review

"Forsyth's recent music shatters the myth that modern music is dry and academic. (His) work has the sense of a constant wind, a lightness, an optimism blowing through it, (and) there is always the sense of mystery..."
Murray Dineen, The Ottawa Citizen
On the Ottawa premiere of Electra Rising


"I always have had a sense of responsibility to the audience, coming from a deep sense of belief. I am myself a dedicated audience member, dedicated to the idea of concert music that does sweep people away. I'm never more happy than when I can be transported by a performer or performance. Everything I've done is with that experience in mind: Changing the space that the audience sits in for those brief few moments. I believe in the audience's musical intelligence. The most important people are the ones who are choosing to be there. I trust them and believe in their reaction."
