“The singers — mezzo Azéma, soprano Camila Parias, alto Deborah Rentz-Moore, tenors Daniel Hershey and Michael Barrett, and bass-baritone Luke Scott — were exemplary in every way, from purity and expressiveness of voice to blending in duets and trios to diction to making eye contact with the audience.”
— Jeffrey Gantz, The Boston Globe
“Under Azéma’s direction, the ensemble cast the songs in a bracing, down-home style, and with the verve of a village band, the performers captured an emotional immediacy fit for any age.”
— Aaron Keebaugh, Boston Classical Review
“Anne Azéma led the musicians of the Boston Camerata in the lively and moving “Free America!” at Faneuil Hall …the voices blend exceptionally well in every possible combination of duets and trios, whether of men, women, or mixed genders.”
— Steven Ledbetter, The Boston Musical Intelligencer
