Quotes

"[CCM's] recreation of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s trend-setting musical from 1943 is certainly one of the best productions I’ve seen all season. It marshaled the forces of 35 and an orchestra of more than 40 musicians. It’s not likely that you’ll see such a production anywhere but at a school like CCM."

Rick Pender, Cincinnati CityBeat

"The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music proved that it is possible to stage Bach’s monumental work ['St. Matthew Passion'} with complete dignity and success. CCM is not the first to have done so (the Berlin Philharmonic, Brooklyn Academy of Music, among others, were there first), but CCM’s production, believed to be the first in the Midwest United States, gave the music a powerful new dimension."

Mary Ellyn Hutton, Music In Cincinnati

"[CCM's 'Coram Boy'] is an enormous success for director Richard Hess and his company, with dozens of students playing everything from a statue of Christ on the Cross in a school chapel to girls at a ball to nefarious characters to George Frederick Handel, whose music underlays the entire production. (Rebecca Childs is able music director.) ... Hess should take a bow for pulling together the theatrical near-symphony that is 'Coram Boy'."

Jackie Demaline, Cincinnati Enquirer
