Grego Applegate Edwards calls Sean Hickey a “natural” in his Classical-Modern Music Review feature of Cursive:
“Sean Hickey composes like a ‘natural’, meaning that his music strikes one as a kind of inevitable expression of a personal musical self. … they are extremely well-crafted, expressive works that sit solidly with the listener… Philip Edward Fisher gives us sensitive and dynamic readings of the piano works, Julia Sakharova joins him on violin for the duo piece, and the trio “Pied-a-tere” showcases Brandon Patrick George on flute, Anne Lanzilotti on viola and Meredith Clark on harp. All sound especially well disposed towards this music and give us lyrical and spirited readings. … Sean Hickey has talent and, while by no means attempting to stretch the borders of the contemporary idiom, manages to create works that have a kind of lasting personal impact, an eloquent vocabulary of melodic-harmonic ideas well expressed. … I think you will find this anthology a welcome addition, with a music as comfortable as a favorite pair of sneakers, as contentful as a favorite volume of poetry. Listen and be convinced.” —Grego Applegate Edwards, Classical-Modern Music Review
