“Colton’s engaging sense of drama and nuance as well as her unerring pitch and lovely tone were ideal for this charming cantata.”
Monterey Herald, Barbara Rose Shuler(Bach Cantata BWV 202, Carmel Bach Festival)
“The Bach cantata Weichet nur betrübte Schatten featuring Colton… singing was crystalline….”
Santa Barbara News-Press, Hillary Hauser(Bach Cantata BWV 202, Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra)
“The musical unraveling seemed effortless: Colton again bringing years of experience and a multi-colored vocalism to the journey from frustration to acceptance to the joy of the promise of the final reward. The instrumentalists matched and complimented her in every way, save for being wordless. Which is just about how the audience felt after the final chord, except for the justifiably required ‘bravos’.”

“… Kendra Colton’s beautiful and impeccably trained voice aspired to, and sometimes attained, outright instrumental perfection.”
Boston Globe, Richard Buell(Bach Cantata BWV 84, Winsor Music)
“Bach’s solo cantata, Ich bin vergnügt (BWV 84), was expertly done by Colton and the ensemble.”
Boston Globe, David Perkins(Bach Cantata BWV 84, Winsor Music)

“Soprano Kendra Colton and trumpeter Stephen Burns confidently blazed their way through J.S. Bach’s Jauchzet Gott, ably supported by Ohyama and the ensemble. Burns tossed off the high, cruel intricacies of the trumpet part with insouciance, and Colton sang the equally demanding soprano solo just about perfectly.”
The New Mexican, Craig Smith(Bach Cantata BWV 51, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival)
“Soprano Colton sang with pure-toned accuracy in the Bach.”
The Denver Post, Jeff Bradley(Bach Cantata BWV 51, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival)
“Following intermission a verifed work of J.S. Bach was offered, the wonderful Cantata BWV 199, “Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut” (My heart swims in blood). Kendra Colton brought to this ever-remarkable music her gifts of clear language declamation, dramatic vocal colorings as befitted the texts, and her cherishable constant involvement with the music’s many nuances.”
The Boston Musical Intelligencer, John Ehrlich(Bach Cantata BWV 199, Winsor Music)
