Marķa Grand's "Persephone"[Marķa Grand] ...an excellent, exploratory saxophonist you should all know....Grand's pieces are full of wild twists, turns and time signatures, yet hang together in a compelling way. This is stuff for adventurous listeners." - innerviews.org
"As an improviser, the Swiss-Argentine Ms. Grand is both measured and frank, often venturing into gentle provocation." -The New York Times

Marķa Grand uses the saxophone, her voice, and a gong, which she plays over a soundtrack created specifically for this version of the piece, to express her vision of the stages of Persephone's life.
