		Celebrating their tenth year, the Meridian Arts Ensemble is more active and prolific than ever, spending almost six months out of the year touring, preparing and solidifying material for recorded release, commissioning new material, and adding new arrangements to their repertoire.
		People are exposed to a whole lot more diversity in music and art, and I think that they are taught in their schools an appreciation and respect for the process of creating art.
		The immediate effect of the arts is always a loss of money, and if you live in a culture where the immediate gain of money is the definition of "good," then you're not going to have classical art forms.

	INKPOT#81 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Prime Meridian. Meridian Arts Ensemble (Channel) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		What characterises their playing is the immaculate ensemble, seldom allowing soloistic playing by any member, which often mars the performance of other less-capable brass quintets (which typically lean heavily on their lead trumpet).
		Nonetheless, the Meridian Arts Ensemble is dead serious about expanding the possibilities of the brass quintet, and their respect for this music is much deserved.
		Meridian may well be one of the only groups that have it on the agenda to champion the music of this period.

		First of all, the ensemble is to be commended for making such a bold move - or should I say several bold moves.
		The Meridian Arts Ensemble has bucked the system and brought forward something that most record companies wouldn't touch - and in their boldness they have made a valuable contribution to comtemporary music.
		There are wonderful moments of standard brass ensemble work, very skillfully executed, but the Meridian Arts Ensemble wanted to go out on a limb, so they took a chance and have thus filled a niche that is often ignored.
