Review of Ecstasy by John-Morgan Bush, Tuxedo Revolt

Soloist Courtenay Symonds presented an intriguing acoustic performance of Björk’s Big Time Sensuality and Mezzo-soprano Adrienne Metzinger beautifully sang an arrangement of Clara Schumann’s Liebst du um Schönheit. But of all the soloists in the vocal medley, soprano Sonya Headlam entranced the audience. Through beautiful phrasing and a heartfelt authenticity, she was able to transcend the simple lyrics of Amy Beach’s Ecstasy and present us with music made in the heart.
