“Creating a lovely Christmas scena was the choice of the ‘Pifa,’ ‘Recitative’ and chorus ‘Glory to God’ from Handel’s oratorio Messiah.  Blake [Clark] conducted the ‘Pifa’ at an interestingly quick tempo, while soprano Sarah Berger offered a seraphic soprano that led into the radiant chorus.”

“Backed solidly by the strings, the chorus sang Schubert’s compact, richly lyrical Mass in G with a well-balanced tone and polished articulation.

“[In Mozart’s C minor Mass,] the two hard-worked soprano soloists, Sarah Berger and Ah Young Hong (both Peabody grads, by the way), offered silken tone, limpid phrasing and confident technique. Very classy singing.”
