On CVNC‘s review of Ward Theatre Company’s Revival in Durham, NC:
You refer to "building" your shows as opposed to writing them. What does that mean? The Company exists as the performance arm of the Ward Acting Studio and, as such, introduces actors to two kinds of performance experiences – traditional theater and original...
On CVNC’s review of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in Chapel Hill, NC:
I want to applaud Mr. Rossman for the courage of his convictions – also mine – in regard to his Vienna Philharmonic review. I too, felt the "perfection" of this orchestra, but also its chilly, soulless quality in the Schubert – a most un-Romantic,...
On CVNC‘s Review of the Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle in Durham
This is a nice review if long on description of music and short on the orchestra's performance. And I am very gratified that Mr. Robinson urged folks to financially support the orchestra, particularly at a time when I am told that the Durham Symphony is sadly...
On CVNC‘s Review of the Boston Camerata’s “American Christmas” Concert in Asheville
Thank you for the appreciative review of our program, “An American Christmas,” which we had the privilege and joy of performing in Asheville just a few days ago. We would, however, like to correct an important misstatement of fact. Your reviewer, Ted...
On CVNC‘s Review of This Year’s 10 By 10 in the Triangle at the ArtsCenter Goes Rewardingly Meta
In via e-mail: Sorely disappointed by the review for 10x10. Fairly certain most reviewers would not divulge the entire plot of a play they had just seen. Not sure why the reviewer of 10x10 this year felt it was appropriate to reveal the plots of all 10 shows. This is...
On CVNC‘s Review of the NC Symphony’s Sci-Fi Spectacular
In via e-mail: Hi, I enjoyed reading Tom Moore's review of the NC Symphony's Sci-Fi Spectacular concert, which well captured the experience of this wonderful event. I had so much fun at the June 27 performance that I went back the next night, and had just as much fun!...
On CVNC’s Review of UNCSA’s Carmen
In via email: This is the 3rd time I have been at the same performance as Mr. Perret and had a totally different experience then [sic] the one I read. He could at least learn how to spell singers names if he is going to praise them falsely. I know several people who...
On CVNC‘s Review of the Concert Singers of Cary
Dear CVNC: As a member of the Concert Singers of Cary Symphonic and Chamber choirs, I appreciate very much John Lambert's review: "Around the World and Home Again with the Concert Singers of Cary." However, I wonder if one word in the review...
On CVNC‘s Coverage of Opera Carolina’s Eugene Onegin as a Component of the Ulysses Festival
In via email: To the Editor: In the Perry Tannenbaum review circulated by you, Mr. Tannenbaum clearly has not done his research. The Festival brochure includes all 22 events, was circulated to more than 10,000 households throughout Greater Charlotte, and was available...
