“I had the great pleasure of performing with Ms. Colleen Williams and the Buffalo Philharmonic recently. Ms. Williams is an inspiration. Her affection for the music, sense of rhythm, and flexible vocal technique lent themselves exceptionally well to our program. The orchestra and I truly enjoyed working with her. Can’t wait to hear her new show, On My Way To Now.”

“Colleen and I have been working together since 1998. Over the years, she has performed as the vocalist for my big band and symphony shows: Like Benny to Me - A Tribute to Benny Goodman, The Music of Artie Shaw, and The Music of the American Songbook, performed both with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and The Virginia Symphony. Her vocal range, wonderful phrasing, and charming stage presence always add luster to my shows. I’m excited for her in this new chapter of her musical journey.”
