Recent Press

Marilyn Horne Foundation "On Wings of Song" Recital: Weill Hall

"Her lovely, rich voice was perfectly suited to Mahler's score. Because of her experience in the world of opera, she was able to handle the interpretive details of the many verses of this folk sermon. ...Later in the program, she gave a fine account of "Songs of Wonderment and Love," a set of three beautifully crafted pieces by the American composer Richard Hundley (b. 1931). And she tickled our collective funny bone with "Of Gods and Cats," two short songs by Jake Heggie (b. 1961) with texts by Gavin Dillard."

Ars Lyrica: Legendary Lovers

"The gleaming sound of soprano Ava Pine and Houston Grand Opera Studio mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton rang radiantly in front of the group of violinists, Baroque flute, harpsichordist, Baroque cello/viola da gamba player and violone. ...Barton was pensive then brilliant in Priva son d'ogni conforto (Deprived of all comfort) and Non ha più che temere (I have nothing more to fear)."

Hansel and Gretel, 2008

"...Mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton came close to stealing the show with her over-the-top witch."
