“Finally, I can scarcely believe that soprano Rena Harms is a student at the Academy, so poised and exquisite was her singing of Samuel Barber’s incomparable setting of James Agee’s ‘Knoxville: Summer of 1915,’ yet the program claimed her as an ‘academy young artist,’ so I must take them at their word. Neither Harms nor the wonderful ensemble, conducted by Warren Jones, batted an eye when the fireworks began in earnest halfway through the song. Talk about shock and awe!”
