July 19, 2002 Bowdoin Summer Music Festival Amy Burton (soprano), J.J. Penna (piano) Review
July 21, 2002: Michael Cohen set the two Millay songs specifically for the Bowdoin Summer Music Festival. They are masterful, and were perfectly rendered by soprano Amy Burton and pianist J.J. Penna. There was a strange atmosphere in the crowded theater after the last note, as if people wanted to jump up and cheer. –Maine Sunday Telegram |
