Critical Acclaim for the Symphony Pops Concert

"McCorkle performed songs from films of the past with an understanding of their lyrics, unique interpretive phrasing, and a dramatic pacing seldom, if ever, offered by other artists.
...McCorkle's repertoire, along with her style, nuances, dramatic immuendo and background commentary, make her performance more than a concert. She is a complete act"
      - VARIETY

"McCorkle, stunning in her shocking pink dress, gave a heartfelt rendition of each song that revealed a spendid ability to interpret and convey the inner meaning of each line"
      - Springfield MORNING UNION

"The Rochester Philharmonic never sounded better, and McCorkle sang like a dream... She achieved the nearly impossible, projecting a sense of intimacy to everyone in the huge hall. It was a virtuoso performance."
      - Rochester CITY NEWSPAPER

"McCorkle lit up the Proctor's Theatre stage... Her husky alto and her insightful, unique phrasing set her apart...Her joy in the music of the golden era of the silver screen is contagious...The crowd would willingly have been mesmerized until dawn."
      - Albany TIMES-UNION
