“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.”

“Soprano Colton sang with pure-toned accuracy in the Bach.”

“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.”
