An irresistible mix of high art and humane feeling ... with imaginative programming and freewheeling staging, Lyric Fest has been exhilarating their audiences by demonstrating that a Sunday afternoon art-song recital can be just as entertaining as a well-managed party.

American Poets: The Lyric Fest program was the most comprehensive sampling that a knowledgeable program designer could crowd into a single concert.

The Broad Street Review
It was a beautifully constructed program that allowed even the ignorant like myself to fully enjoy the music and appreciate where it came from. I learned so much. Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful part of life.
