Singer

IN CONCERT WITH: North Carolina, Durham, and Honolulu Symphonies:

The highlight of last night's concert was your rendition of Arlen/Mercer's "Blues in the Night" and the audiences response to your performance of it. It was a truly spontaneous reaction from the public and the orchestra that was both sincere and justified. Take ANOTHER bow! You deserve it! My response to your talents is the same as when I first heard you: There isn't a singer in the world that could not profit from your considerable artistry and your exceptional "presentation" of the material. You "inhabit" it, you "live" it... and this is totally organic and natural. I am reminded of Maria Callas. (From me, the Ultimate Compliment to a performer.) And if you haven't already, please put my name on your list of references. I see you now as being part of our NCSO "extended family"! All the best, Maestro Bill Curry Resident Conductor, North Carolina Symphony

"... deep, rich chest tones as well as roof-raising high notes... examples of vocal virtuosity to which everyone in the audience responded with shouts of appreciation." - Classical Voice of North Carolina

Rozlyn Sorrell's "Valse de Ko-Ko" sent chills down my spine. Oh, what a voice she has! - Karen E. Moorman - Classical Voice of North Carolina

Soprano Rozlyn Sorrell embodied the blues style in a moving "My Man's Gone Now," Filled with evocative portamento. At the end of the song , she slid up as the orchestra slid down in a stylized keeping over the dead, an effect that raised goose bumps. - Ruth O. Bingham, Honolulu Star Bulletin

...and Rozlyn Sorrell "My Man's Gone Now," embodied a high lonesome sound that also seethed with bitterness. - Gregory Shepherd, The Honolulu Advertiser
