Gregory Toroian Holiday Show: Hearts Be Light
Each of the five performers presented a mini-cabaret show filled with Christmas material.
Hilary Kole
Sang with pristine control. Her signature scat poured out headlong; she could give lessons.
Catherine Russell and Sean Mason: My Ideal
Catherine Russell’s seriously fine, character-filled voice and technique make her a joy to listen to.
Phillip Officer: You Fascinate Me So: Phillip Officer Salutes Mabel Mercer
He is able to coax into the spotlight a nuance that’s been hiding behind a lyric.
Camille Diamond: Over the Moon… On Pluto Transit
Diamond showed a great ability throughout the show to deliver lyrics with both sensitivity and understanding.
Friends of Alec Wilder: The 38th Annual Concert of Alec Wilder’s Music
The program was edifying and entertaining, but poorly structured.
Mary Stalloings
Mary Stallings
Her interpretations are mature and seasoned, yielding delivery of the lyric with maximum impact and impeccable phrasing.
