"But the surprise of the evening was mezzo-soprano Jennifer Hines, who has a voice that has to be heard to be believed. Few mezzos display such a timbre. If you closed your eyes, you would swear that her lines were being delivered by a true countertenor. It was remarkable. Not to demean the other singers in any way, but it is worth the price of admission just to hear her." - [Verdi's Requiem, Richmondy Symphony] - Walt Amacker, Richmond Times-Dispatch (03/16/08)

"Singing with similar authority mezzo-soprano Jennifer Hines ... offered a memorable performance. She took a part that's often sung by a male countertenor and lent it dusky depth. The most mournful of arias fell to Hines, and she suffused each with palpable sadness." - [Messiah, Minnesota Opera]- Rob Hubbard, Pioneer Press (12/13/07)
-
"The dark, rich, buttery tones of mezzo-soprano Jennifer Hines were an unending astonishment." - [Christmas Oratorio, Washington Bach Consort]- Mark J. Estren, Washington Post (12/10/07)
