Harlie Sponaugle,
Soprano
Reviews:
“Harlie Sponaugle as the faithful girlfriend was first-rate, as she also was in her solo soprano parts in the folk songs at the start of the evening.” The Washington Post
“Sponaugle’s gorgeous round soprano tone shone during her performance.” The Eagle
“Harlie Sponaugle shows off a nice voice and perfect comic timing.” The Washington Blade
“. . . a silvery soprano.” Washington’s Hill Rag
Audience members and colleagues say:
“Ms. Sponaugle displays a seamless vocal production with an even line from top to bottom and a legato that is limpid and sumptuous. Her voice is one of considerable heft and lyric beauty, with a lower register that is bright and clear and a top that is warm and full. If I had to compare her voice to an instrument, I’d say she’s a Steinway.” Michael Patterson, conductor
“Harlie makes interesting and intelligent choices when performing my music. She works on new music with grace and guts, developing the sense of the material along with meeting its vocal demands. Her voice and personality in performance are warm and charming. She has an unexpected gift for comic timing as well as sharing deeper emotions with audiences.” Scott Upright, composer
“Ms. Sponaugle’s voice is warm, powerful, sweet, compelling, and full of emotion. Her beautiful voice is complemented by her skill as an actress, allowing her to paint pictures and tell stories through her music.” Local critic
“I have never heard you sound better than yesterday. All of your heart was in your voice.” Audience member
