Symphony Review - Steven Baric - Chronicle Journal

“Accompanied by the TBSO and her own combo, blues diva Rita Chiarelli tore the house down with stormy renditions of her original material. Aside from the obvious fact that she’s a fantastic singer, her songs are actually quite brilliant and original, and as an entertainer she’s hard to beat. For those who missed it, even though the material will be available on CD it’s the concert you really missed.”

Performance Review - Ken Wright

“Rossini and Mendelssohn at a blues gig? Give me a break you say! Give us more was, in fact, the overwhelming response from the thousand-strong audience of blues and symphony fans who rose in a standing ovation at the close of the concert featuring acclaimed blues diva Rita Chiarelli and the fabulous Thunder Bay Symphony.”

Patrick Langston

“Her big, expressive vocals are finely suited to the full sound that is an orchestra’s preserve, and this orchestra is adept enough to swing credibly on a jazz number one minute and tackle a country tune the next. Two live tracks find Chiarelli clearly inspired by the orchestra’s power and the crowd’s engagement. She is nothing short of brilliant on "I Can Change for You.”
