from Mostly Russian Program Brightens Cary's Apitheatre, a review by John W. Lambert of a performance of Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky by the Concert Singers of Cary and the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra, May 1, 2008

Robert Workman, Winston-Salem Journal, Winston-Salem Piedmont Triad Symphony production of Bach's Magnificat, March 19, 2000
