"All I can say is ... “Bravo, Riverside County Philharmonic!”
In fact, it can hold its own with any major classical
orchestra in America."
- S. Earl Statler, San Bernardino Sun, 2007
"The Philharmonic is a powerful, well-oiled music machine."
- Mark Benoit, Press Enterprise, 2007
"The Riverside County Philharmonic can no longer claim
to be a little community orchestra. An assemblage of
decidedly young, intensely focused musicians, RCP has
grown in quality to rival any symphonic orchestra I have
heard. Double the size of the string sections, solidify the
horn performances, and you could be hearing the Los
Angeles Philharmonic."
- Sherli Leonard Press Enterprise, 2008
"Flynn energizes the musicians to commit completely
to the art in the heart of the music."
- Sherli Leonard Press Enterprise, 2008
"The strings were silky smooth, the brass was powerful and
precise, and the woodwinds were delightfully bright. …
the orchestra performed fabulously as a unit, delivering a
superb reading of this monumental symphony(Beethoven
“Eroica”) …the audience leapt to its feet in the evening’s
third standing ovation. Flynn has assembled a majestic
music-making body in the Riverside County Philharmonic."
- Mark Benoit, Press Enterprise, 2008

belongs to Flynn
and the orchestra.”
