“One of the best things to happen to the UO – and to Oregon music – this year is the arrival of Molly Barth. One of the world’s greatest flutists.”

Brett Campbell, The Eugene Weekly, January 29, 2009

“Like a good jazz player, she improvised according to what she got from the other players. Barth was fabulous, again”

David Stabler, The Oregonian, October 19, 2008

“Barth’s sculpted lyricism was intensely moving.”

Tom Manoff, Register-Guard, October 23, 2008

“Barth’s virtuosic ability created fluttering trills, sudden fortes, and soothing legato lines that were flat out remarkable.”

James Bash, Northwest Reverb, September 24, 2008

“Her high spirit was contagious, her legato like liquid and her ornaments glittering….”

James McQuillen, The Oregonian, July 14, 2007

“The ferociously talented flutist Molly Alicia Barth gave an electric performance of Bernard Rands’ “Memo 4,” effortlessly leaping across registers and conveying both a sense of intense dialogue and barely contained anxiety in the many piercingly high passages.”

James McQuillen, The Oregonian, November 20, 2006

“flutist Molly Alicia Barth was the dynamic live component of Suzuki’s tightly executed ‘Slipstream’ for seven-channel surround tape and soloist.”

Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times, January 25, 2005

“amazingly executed by flutist Molly Barth”

Deirdre Kelly, Chicago Maroon, November 3, 2003

“deftly choreographed performances sparkle with ingenuity and enthusiasm”

Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle, April 8, 2002

“highly polished techniques and evident depth of feeling for a variety of contemporary styles, as well as a sartorial casualness and open manner”
