Greg Bartholomew's music has been performed across the United States and in Canada, Europe and Australia. Of his choral setting of Whitman's "To a Locomotive in Winter," National Public Radio classical music reviewer Tom Manoff wrote: "Greg Bartholomew, a fine composer not afraid of accessibility, set Walt Whitman's To a Locomotive in Winter in a sturdy, lyrical style. Tuneful and diatonic, the music seemed appropriately Whitman-esque."
