"Ms. Roberts was at the top of her game, as she accompanied Mr. Ahualli with an incredible sense of security on the material. She was the ideal accompanist: supportive of the singer and at the same time taking the slancio created by Mr. Ahualli and keeping it alive, but always in relation to the singer’s phrasing and never creating anything unnecessary or excessive."

Chorus has grown to be a confident and powerful ensemble. The performance was rich, strong and enthusiastic.” NEWSDAY Verdi REQUIEM “…. Chorus grows more vigorous all the time…it just glowed with power, surging out over the orchestra like surf over a sandbar.” NEWSDAY Walton BELSHAZZAR’S FEAST “…The Chorus…with ear shattering vigor..drawing their listeners along with them.” NEWSDAY Mahler SYMPHONY NO. 2 “…The Chorus demonstrated yet again its strength and sensitivity.” NEWSDAY Brahms REQUIEM “…The Chorus handled the contrapuntal complexities of the music easily.” NEWSDAY Haydn LORD NELSON MASS “…the chorus sang with fervor.” NEWSDAY American Choral Music “…a sonorous, warm performance….a powerful ensemble with diction that is remarkable.
