The Arizona Daily Star published a feature for True Concord Voices and Orchestra’s Christmas With True Concord recording!
“True Concord knows how to do Christmas. With lush exquisite voices and sublime soulfully American interpretations, they take you beyond the cliche of “Jingle Bells” and “O Holy Night” to a singular somberly opening Mack Wilberg’s arrangement of “Away in a Manger.” The women’s voices, sans vibrato, deliciously replicate the sound of a children’s choir as the chorus rises above the gently played oboe and Guy Whatley’s organ.… Under the baton of True Concord Music Director and founder Eric Holtan, the choir soars on the world premiere of Glen Rudolph’s “One Gift,” a glorious musical setting to text by American hymn writer Thomas Troeger, and a stunningly beautiful a cappella arrangement of “Silent Night” by the late Stephen Paulus that spotlights a pair of soloists — the pretty spectacular soprano Cait Frizzell and equally terrific tenor Patrick Michael Muehleise.”
