"Without question, the highlight of the evening was anytime that tenor John Easterlin took the stage to bring down the house with a cavalcade of holiday favorites.  Possessing a truly remarkable voice that can easily traverse many different styles from operatic to contemporary, his easy stage presence and thorough delivery was an absolute treat.  My personal favorite was 'Ten Thousand Joys' - a stirring gospel number that shook the entire auditorium.  I had goose bumps on top of goose bumps at the end of the piece alone.  Easterlin is certainly well known to New York opera audiences.  I hope that we'll be seeing him in more concert venues, like this one, as well."

"The evening's guest soloist was Metropolitan Opera tenor John Easterlin who absolutely walked away with every, single solo he brought to the stage.  Was a privilege - a thrill - to listed to this world class artist so completely embody each number from the haunting 'I Wonder as I Wonder', (presented only with harp accompaniment), to the holiday favorite 'O Holy Night' (with a high C that would make the very Metropolitan Opera walls shake), to the heart stopping 'Ten Thousand Joys' which brought the audience to a huge, thunderous standing ovation.  I've thrilled to Easterlin at Town Hall, and this appearance put me in a true holiday spirit.  What a great Christmas gift!"
