"Und eine gezieltere Schulung der Vokalsolisten hätte ergeben, dass wahres Sangesglück nicht in großer Lautstärke,
sondern in der Formulierung leiser Töne liegt. Aber vielleicht ist es der US-amerikanischen Tradition...
Angemessen der Wohlklang, Sabrina Laney Warren (Sopran) anbieten konnten."
-Mindener Tageblatt; Udo Stephan Köhne, Minden, Germany, July 6, 2016
"The precise training of the vocal soloists showed that true beauty in singing lies not only in singing loudly,
but also in the formulation of of quiet tones. Perhaps it is owed to the American tradition...Sabrina Laney Warren offered befitting melodious sound."
-Mindener Tageblatt; Udo Stephan Köhne, Minden, Germany, July 6, 2016
"…professionelle Qualität bedacht sind, zeigte sich an den Solisten, die mit dem Chor gereist waren.
Sabrina Laney Warren (Sopran), Bridget Skaggs (Mezzo-Sopran), Zachary Vanderburg (Tenor) und Jared Levin (Bass) mit zum Teil
jahrelanger Bühnenerfahrung, die sie beim zweiten Konzert in der Augsburger Ulrichskirche am Sonntagabend in Sankt Ulrich
sang der Chor, begleitet vom in Augsburg gastierenden „International Youth Symphony Orchestra“ eine Messe von Ludolph Arens…
die zahlreiche Zusamtaler mitfeierten, zeigten die amerikanischen Musiker ihr Können beim Te Deum von Anton Bruckner gewaltige
chorale Musik, die in der Ulrichskirche eindrucksvoll zum Ausdruck kam."
-Augsburger Allgemeine; Hertha Stauch, Augsburg, Germany, July 7, 2015
"…professional quality, soloists, traveled with the choir. Sabrina Laney Warren (soprano), Bridget Skaggs (mezzo-soprano),
Zachary Vanderburg (tenor) and Jared Levin (bass) with years of stage experience, sang with the Choir at the second concert in the Augsburg
Ulrich church on Sunday, accompanied by the "International Youth Symphony Orchestra" the Festival Mass of Ludolph Arens…left the audience
gasping then, the American musicians showed their skills at the Te Deum by Anton Bruckner – the mighty chorale music was an impressive
expression in the Ulrich church."

Mit Sabrina Laney Warren und Sarah Kennedy in Sopran beziehungsweise Mezzosopran und Jared Levin und Zachary
Vanderburg in Tenor- und Bass-Stimme waren die Solisten an diesem kühlen Sommerabend sehr präsent. Und als zum anklingenden
Motiv der „Ode an die Freude“ die Wolken der rot untergehenden Sonne wichen, passte alles zusammen.
-Lübecker Nachrichten; Astrid Jabs, June 30, 2014
"The voices of the soloists Sabrina Laney Warren and Sarah Kennedy in soprano and mezzo-soprano and Jared Levin
and Zachary Vanderburg in tenor were very present on this cool summer evening. And when the clouds of the red setting sun gave way
to the evocative motif of the "Ode to Joy", everything fit together. "

"Die Sängerin Sabrina Laney Warren verzauberte mit ihren schier unbegrenzten stimmlichen
Möglichkeiten: leidenschaftlich, stimmgewaltig und auch zart in dem Stück „Il Felice“ von Felix Mendelsohn-
Bartholdy, dagegen leicht und locker in den Koloraturen des „Exultate jubilate“ von W.A. Mozart."
-Augsburger Allgemeine; Dillingen, Germany, July 16, 2013
"The singer Sabrina Laney Warren enchanted with her seemingly unlimited vocal possibilities:
passionate, powerful voice and also tender in the play "Il Felice" Felix Mendelsohn-Bartholdy, contrast,
light and fluffy in the coloratura of "Exultate jubilate" by WA Mozart."
-Augsburger Allgemeine; Dillingen, Germany, July 16, 2013
Genauso zu rühmen die „Tragfähigkeit“ des Begleitens, mit der Michael Finck ein Solistentrio unterfütterte.
Die Erschaffung der Welt lässt Joseph Haydn von den drei Erzengeln Gabriel (Sopran), Uriel (Tenor) und Raphael (Bass) erzählen.
Rezitativisch (an der Truhenorgel Alexandra Finck) und bei den Solo-Einsätzen waren Joseph Roberts (Bass) und Sabrina Laney Warren (Sopran)
wie vor zwei Jahren beim Brahms-Requiem nicht nur verlässliche stimmliche Partner. Sie loteten wie auch Zachary Vanderburg (Tenor) ihre
„Botschaften“ mit vokalem Glanz, dramatischem Feuer und lyrischer Anteilnahme aus. Die Terzette lebten von gewachsener Ausgewogenheit,
sie lobten gemeinsam mit den „himmlischen Heerscharen“ (dem riesigen Chor) und der Urkraft des Orchesters den „Ruhm des Herrn“.
-Augsburger Allgemeine; Gernot Walter, Dillingen, Germany, July 12, 2013
"Equal praise to the "carrying capacity" of accompanying, with Michael Finck (conductor)
and a trio of soloists. The creation of the world, Joseph Haydn told by the three archangels Gabriel (soprano),
Uriel (tenor) and Raphael (bass). Recitative (on the organ Alexandra Finck) and the soloists were Joseph Roberts (bass) and
Sabrina Laney Warren (soprano) who were vocal soloists two years ago in the Brahms Requiem. They, as well as Zachary Vanderburg (tenor),
sang their "messages" with vocal luster, fire and dramatic lyrical sympathy. The trios had a balance that grew as they praised together with the
"heavenly host" (the huge choir) and the primal power of the orchestra, the "glory of the Lord."
-Augsburger Allgemeine; Gernot Walter, Dillingen, Germany, July 12, 2013
Solisten überzeugen:
Die Solisten waren allesamt Amerikaner, und man durfte staunen, wie gut sie die deutsche Aussprache verwirklichen konnten.
Für uns ist es enorm schwer, die englische Lautung einigermaßen echt hinzubekommen, andersherum ist es nicht leichter.
Hier muss man alle drei Solisten loben. Das tat auch die Sopranistin Sabrina Laney Warren, deren Sopran viel Durchschlagskraft besitzt. Anfangs schien es,
als gebe es bei ihr in höheren Lagen nur Forte, doch im Verlauf zeigte sie, dass auch leisere Töne in dieser Region zu ihrem
Repertoire gehören. Im Terzett oder Duett vermischten sich alle Stimmen gut.
-Mindener Tageblatt; Hans-Christoph Schröter, Minden, Germany, July 8, 2013
Convincing Soloists:
The soloists were all Americans, and you would be amazed at how well they were able to realize the German pronunciation.
For us it is very difficult to get the English phonetics reasonably genuine, it is not and easier the other way around.
Here you have to commend all three soloists. So did the soprano Sabrina Laney Warren, whose soprano has a lot of penetrating power.
At first it seemed as if her higher tones were only forte, but in the course of the work she showed that she also had softer sounds
in this region of her voice. In duet or trio, all voices blended well.
-Mindener Tageblatt; Hans-Christoph Schröter, Minden, Germany, July 8, 2013
Den ersten Höhepunkt bildete die lebhafte Arie für Sopran und Orchester, „Infelice“ (op. 94) von Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.
Musiker und Sängerin bestechen mit einem energischen Vortrag, Sabrina Laney Warren verdient dank einer unglaublich expressiven Stimme ein Sonderlob.
Was für ein Stimmumfang, was für eine Brillanz in den Höhen. Respekt! Der hin und her wogende Charakter dieser schwierigen Arie kam voll zur Geltung.
Ebenfalls ein Genuss: das „Exsultate Jubilate“ von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, mit einem bestechenden Sopran, glockenklaren Koloraturen und einer unglaublichen
Stimmgewalt. Laney Warren hat das Zeug zu einer ganz Großen.
-Schaumburger Zeitung/Landes Zeitung; July 6, 2013
The first highlight was the lively aria for soprano and orchestra, “Infelice” (op. 94) by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.
The musician and singer captivated with an energetic performance, Sabrina Laney Warren deserves special praise thanks to her incredibly
expressive voice. What a vocal range, what brilliant high notes. Respect! She took full advantage of the back and forth character of this
difficult aria. Also a treat: the “Exsultate Jubilate” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with her captivating soprano, bell-clear coloratura,
and incredible vocal power. Laney Warren has the makings of a big time performer.

-Pflaz Express; Redaktion, Landau, Germany, June 30, 2013
Speaking of first class, the Oak Ridge Symphony signed off its season with a whopper of a winning program.
The program unveiled two more Tennessee superstars (Nashville soprano Sabrina Laney Warren and Nashville composer Rachel Devore Fogarty).
When Sabrina Warren walked on stage and positioned herself for singing, she did so with such grace and poise one knew to expect confidence.
One also expected devotion to the Spoon River anthology score written for her by her best friend Rachel Fogarty.
But even that knowledge didn’t prepare us for Warren’s consummate artistry. Her notes were beautifully nuanced,
and her soprano tessitura had a floating kind of beauty that seemed so blissfully effortless. With clear intonation and diction,
she commanded Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River lyrics discerningly, capturing every virtue or wart of the six diverse characters
she was representing in song.
It was a rare pleasure to hear Warren sing all from memory and a pleasure to note the ease in which she soared to the
high notes and then plunged into resonant low notes. And after she had committed vocally and emotionally to Agee’s lyrics
(Barber’s Knoxville Summer of 1915) she had the audience completely in her thrall.
-The Oak Ridger; Becky Ball, Oak Ridge, TN May 2, 2013
Sabrina Warren had a lovely, gentle texture throughout as Pamina.
-Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; Andrew Druckenbrod, Pittsburgh, PA, July 2, 2012
Sabrina Warren was a superb Pamina, using her ample and open voice with affecting directness as Tamino’s lover.

-The Tennessean; Amy Stumpfl, Nashville, TN, October 14, 2011
Unerwartet im reinen Orchesterkonzert die vokalen Glanzpunkte, die Sabrina Laney Warren mit
zwei Arien aus „La Bohème“ von Giacomo Puccini setzte. Die Sopranistin kostete den Hall der spätgotischen Kirche
aus, entfaltete ihre ausgebildete Stimme mit Emphase, war im Parlando wie in den melodiösen Aufschwüngen bühnenwirksam präsent.
-Augsburger Allgemeine; Gernot Walter, Lauingen, Germany, July 13, 2011
Unexpectedly, in the purely orchestral concert, were the vocal highlights from
Sabrina Laney Warren who sang two arias from "La Boheme" by Giacomo Puccini. The soprano cost the hall
from the late Gothic church; with emphasis unfolded her trained voice was melodious,
with parlando upswings and an effective stage presence.
-Augsburger Allgemeine; Gernot Walter, Lauingen, Germany, July 13, 2011
Sabrina Laney Warrens Sopran-Solo war ein weich gezeichnetes, ausdrucksstarkes Trostlied voller stimmlicher Anmut.
-Augsburger Allgemeine; Gernot Walter, Lauingen, Germany, July 12, 2011
Sabrina Laney Warren's soprano solo was a soft-lined, expressive consolation song full of vocal grace.
-Augsburger Allgemeine; Gernot Walter, Lauingen, Germany, July 12, 2011
The voluminous roar dominated and applause roared on.
This increased further when the orchestra rolled out the musical carpet for Sabrina Laney Warren.
The Blue Lake soprano impressed with two arias from Puccini's opera "La Bohème".
Baritone Joseph Roberts contributed with an aria from of Puccini's opera "Edgar".
With the known and popular tunes from the musical
"My Fair Lady", Sabrina and Joseph conquered the ecstatic audience.

Sabrina Laney Warren, die bereits eine Gastsaison and der Nashville Opera absolvieren durfte,
übernahm das Sopransolo des Fünften Satzes. Ihr emphatisch vorgetragener Koloratursopran verfügt über eine
Leichte, kräftigende Alt-Färbung in den mittleren Lagen und dringt auch gegenüber dem Tutti gut durch.
- Eberbacher Zeitung; Ronald J. Autenrieth, Eberbach Germany, July 5, 2011
Sabrina Laney Warren, who already completed a season as a guest with the Nashville Opera, took over the soprano solo of the fifth movement. Her emphatic pre-registered coloratura soprano has a light, invigorating coloring in the middle layers,
and penetrates well even against the tutti.

Zwei Puccini-Arien von Sabrina Laney Warren (Sopran) voneinander getrennt, hinterließen nachhaltigen Eindruck.
-Mindener Tageblatt; Christian Helming, Minden Germany, June 29, 2011
Two Puccini arias sung by Sabrina Laney Warren (soprano), left a lasting impression.
-Mindener Tageblatt; Christian Helming, Minden Germany, June 29, 2011
Voll Mitgefühl und doch tröstlich gestaltete Sabrina Laney Warren die Sopranpartie.
Leider hat Brahms den Gesangssolisten nur eine undankbare Aufgabe verordnet. Nur in zwei Sätzen
"darf" der Bariton einen Part übernehmen und die Sopranistin kommt gar nur in einem Satz zu Wort
und Gesang. Dafür haben sich in der Mindener Aufführung allerdings zwei Spitzenmusiker getroffen,
deren Stimmen besonders schön zueinanderpassen. Voll Mitgefühl und doch tröstlich erklang
"Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit" aus dem Munde der lyrischen Sopranistin Sabrina Laney Warren.
Beide waren trotz der Kürze ihrer Auftritte ein großer Genuss und trugen damit erheblich
zur Qualität eines musikalischen Erlebnisses bei, über das noch lange weit über die Grenzen
Mindens hinaus gesprochen wird.
- Mindener Tageblatt; Ralf Kapries, Minden Germany, June 28, 2011
With compassion and yet comforting Sabrina Laney Warren shaped the soprano part.
Unfortunately, the Brahms soloists prescribed only a thankless task. Only two movements assumed the part
of the baritone and the soprano comes in even just one movement to word and song. However, two great musicians
made the Minden performance, whose voices fit together very nicely. With compassion and yet comforting heard
"You now have sorrow" from the mouth of the lyric soprano Sabrina Laney Warren.
Both were, despite the brevity of their performances a great pleasure and thus contributed significantly to the
quality of a musical experience and will long be talked about far beyond the limits of Minden.
- Mindener Tageblatt; Ralf Kapries, Minden Germany, June 28, 2011
Die amerikanischen Gäste hatten neben den instrumentalen
Konzerten auch gesangliche Einlagen in ihrem Repertoire. Die jugendliche Sopranistin
Sabrina Laney sang aus Giacomo Puccinis "La Boheme" zwei Arien, Und auch das Musical
sollte nicht fehlen. Mit einigen bekannten Liedern aus "My fair Lady" bewiesen Sabrina
und Joseph, dass die Jugendlichen auch der leichten Muse zugetan sind. Dabei war das
Publikum Bühne, die Sänger suchten den direkten Kontakt und steigerten sich in dieser Form noch.
- Mitteldeutsche Zeitung; Marie-Luise Graichen, June 23, 2011
In addition to the instrumental works, the American guests also added vocal works
in their repertoire. The young soprano Sabrina Laney sang two arias from Giacomo Puccini's "La Boheme",
