Review from Hartford Courant
Last Sunday, I sang with CONCORA in its yearly “Bach!” concert at Immanuel Congregational Church. I sang tenor solos in Cantata 182, “Himmelskönig, sei willkommen” and Cantata 21, “Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis.” The Hartford Courant reviewer, Jeffrey Johnson, had some nice things to say about my performance:
“Brown['s solo in Cantata 182, "Himmelskönig, sei willkommen"] impressed with a laser clear sound and diverse vocal colorations that made for dramatic presentation. He seemed to feed off the energy coming from the extraordinary cello figuration and set the stage for the choral finale to this work.”

Update (3/19/2008): I’ve removed the link to the Courant article. They seem to have removed the story from their search engine, and you can only get it now by paying $3.95 for an “archival” copy. Seems a bit shady to me, but such is life.
