“The next night at the Terrace Theater, tenor Jonah Hoskins took an equally autobiographical turn with his Vocal Arts DC recital. Accompanied with deep sensitivity and masterful touch and timing by pianist William Woodard, Hoskins opened with a suite of calisthenic musical portraits by Jake Heggie.”
“A lighthearted suite of jaunty Satie pieces – “Le Trois Melodies” – furnished fresh pre-intermission smiles, in large part thanks to Woodard’s keen timing and wit.”
–Washington Post, Michael Andor Brodeur
“Pianist William Woodard enveloped his singer in a confident, supportive tapestry of sound from the keyboard.”
“A dramatic streak came out in two chilling songs about evil presences, Schubert’s “Der Doppelgänger” and “Der Erlkönig,” the latter with thrilling repeated triplets from Woodard at the keyboard.”
–Washington Classical Review, Charles T. Downey
