Concert Review wrote of
the Carnegie Hall
premiere “The
audience reacted after
the final notes with the
loudest and longest
standing ovation I have
ever heard at any
concertâ€, while The
York Press wrote
“We Overcome The
Wind was an outpouring of
joy; a unanimous standing
ovation evinced the sense
of togetherness at the
heart of this
concert.â€.
