Testimonials

"Andrew Garland has a great voice, but even more importantly, he is a great storyteller. He has the remarkable ability to inhabit a song, become the character and pull us in. He also has tremendous musical chops. His attention to detail; the handling of dynamics, phrasing and duration is masterful. He is an asset to the world of song." -- Steven Mark Kohn
* New York premiere at Weill Hall November 21
** world premiere, not included in the October 12 program
"Andrew Garland gave a marvelous rendering of my work A HEARTLAND PORTRAIT. His tone was sure and strong and he projected a wonderful air of confidence with fine attention to phrasing and shaping the work.  He captured both the plaintive simplicity as well as the everyday tragedy that comes from the words through the music.  Andrew and Donna are both real champions!  They had the audience eating out of their hand."   - Stephen Paulus
"Andy Garland is the kind of musical champion song composers dream of finding: a true song stylist who is passionate, creative, quick, inquisitive and possesses a beautiful lyric baritone." - Jake Heggie
Andrew Garland is a wonderful young singer.  His beautiful voice and deep intelligence result in riveting performances. It's been a pleasure to work with him.  - Lori Laitman
"Recently I had the pleasure of performing some of my songs with him, and I remain deeply impressed with the power of his performance. I have performed these same songs with several professional baritones of stature, and none has brought more depth of musical understanding than did Andrew Garland. Quite apart from the special beauty of his voice is his instinctive feeling for the musical line. He pulls the listener irresistibly into the music. In my judgment, he is a rare talent, and I expect him to enjoy an important career, in time." - Lee Hoiby
