“... the power of Foley’s score... the melodic urgency, rhythmic variety, harmonic invention and orchestral sophistication of his music compel the attention... Phrases resonate in the memory: ‘Wheel in the engine,’ ‘I will breathe no word of this,’ ‘Symbol and sign.’ In a program note, Foley acknowledges a range of influences from Sufi plainsong to the rock band U2, yet what he has made of them is something uniquely his own.”
— The Philadelphia Inquirer

“(A) promising young composer who appears capable of straddling these two worlds (of opera and musical theater).”
— The New York Times

“Peter Foley has never failed me. No matter what the subject, no matter what the television genre, Peter has developed a score that enhances the documentary, the studio talk show opening, the non-profit video, and although I don’t produce ads, I’ve seen his work for an ad campaign that was brilliant.”
— Ken Witty, Executive Producer (Consuelo Mack WealthTrack)

“Peter Foley’s exceptional talent, his musicality and versatility, and his compositional ability have made him an integral part of the Art:21 team. We could not have achieved our success without him and his music. Peter has an extraordinary ability to translate the non-musician’s wishes, which are so difficult to express verbally, into musical form. We cannot imagine working on our fourth season without Peter!”
— Susan Sollins, Executive Producer & Curator (Art:21)
