"[Morley's] refined vocal presentation is enhanced by an elegant bearing and economy of gesture on the recital stage, channeling the same self-assured presence and stillness that draws one’s eye to her characters in the opera house." -@ParterreBox parterre.com/2024/05/20/flo…

What a gift to perform the world premiere of @RickyIanGordon’s cycle “Huit Chansons de Fleurs”! Thank you Washington Classical Review: “Morley sang the cycle with exceptional dignity . . . delivered a poignantly beautiful legato tone, lyrical and refreshing.” 🌸 @VocalArtsDC
