In 2010
James R. Oestreich of
The New York Times called Kirkegaard's 1994
Tanglewood Music Center "a major triumph" and called the acoustics of the recently opened Shalin Liu Performance Center "Superb".[5] Describing the
Overture Center in
Madison, Wisconsin, Oestreich wrote that "the acoustics, designed by Kirkegaard Associates, sounded notably bright yet mellow, clean yet reverberant".[2]
