2007-2010 Reviews:  

“It is simply an honor to sample the singular wine of Donald George’s voice. His extreme upper register explodes into a silvery extra
dimension, like sunlight suffusing a snowy pinnacle. Up and down its finely cultivated range, the voice is one of relaxed, heart catching
sonority… Lucy Mauro’s flawless accompaniment was entirely suitable,…the performances were stellar…It was, all in all, a wonderful,
poignant evening.”  Bill Boone, Unfeigned Coffee Fiend, November 2008

"a splendid afternoon of beautiful music-making!"

"an incredible concert"  

"wonderful program"

"ein absolut unvergessliches Erlebnis"  

"Die Interpretation des Accompaniments auf dem Klavier war wunderbar.  Die Deutung der Gedichte selber -mit schöner Männerstimme, mit
Gebärde und Gesichtsausdruck - war meisterhaft, sehr künstlerisch, sehr poignant.  Die reine Freude, das wirkliche bittere Leiden des Dichters
haben Sie auf vortreffliche, unvergleichbare Weise inszeniert."

"Bravo on your beautiful concert! It is wonderful for all of us to hear such professional, musical, and engaging music making."

"fabulous artistic evening"

"excellent concert."  The students loved it and the concept itself."  "...wonderful performance."


“terrific presentation of Melodramas…a first-rate performance/power-point/beautifully researched event.”  

“A great musical team – very expressive and engaging with the audience.”  

“A wonderful ensemble and totally engaging.”  “We were enthralled with your presentation.”
- MTNA National Conference

"Your concert and Master Class were some of the highlights of our program year and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to have our
students see you perform and work with you in the class."    - WVMTA State Convention


"The final composition, "Three Pieces in the Landscape of a Soul," was heart wrenching and contemplative. In the exploration of the human
condition through three backdrops: "The Prison," The Battlefield," and "The Garden," tenor professor Donald George gave an emotional and
powerful performance backed by a choir of 20 voices. Piano, cello and different permutations of the human voice (such as humming) were
versatile enough to characterize each of the three movements exceptionally."


"Supporting the two tenors is pianist Lucy Mauro (Radford University), a frequent collaborator and skillful accompanist. The piano part is
simple yet highly effective, allowing a pianist to access this wonderful music (often given to the orchestra). Under Mauro’s skillful fingers, the
absence of an orchestra will be of little concern."
