"The quite remarkable music plays a vital role in the overall impact. It is keening, churchy, measured and intense. Daniel Bernard Roumain
was the main composer, with contributions from the other musicians. The other dancers, too numerous to name, are all wonderful; Mr. Jones
did not perform. Andrea Smith, an actor who played the father of the murdered girl, and Alicia Hall Moran, a singer, deserve special mention." - - John Rockwell on Bill T. Jones' CHAPEL/CHAPTER

"The idea of thinking about those Motown pieces as a Schubertian song cycle winding through the stages and associated emotions of a love affair—from declamation, assurance, doubt, disappointment, to anger—was brilliant. Hall Moran managed to draw attention to the poignant poetry of the featured songwriters, while also exploring their universal potential beyond teenage wonder and angst. The cycle's accompaniment underscored the harmonic sophistication and her choice of ensemble [acoustic guitar, electric bass, taiko drums and R&B vocalist] was daring and inventive, and highlighted her vocal control, dramatic talent, and conceptual range." - Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr., Professor of Music, University of Pennsylvania on Alicia Hall Moran's motown project @ The Kitchen
"STUPENDOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!" - Whitfield Lovell, Artist, on the motown project
"The voice is absolutely fabulous!! Rich, warm, wonderful. Gotta hear more." - Carrie Mae Weems, Artist
"It was our great fortune that Alicia was part of Chapel/Chapter. She brought to this work not only her glorious singing but also her theatrical instincts, her creativity, her grace, integrity, commitment and consummate professionalism. In many ways, she was the anchor that centered the three interwoven narratives that made up the piece. We thought we were looking for a singer but we found a composer and a collaborator as well. Even after listening to her performance for over a year, I was still surprised and moved every night by that voice and the unexpected musical choices she made. We look forward to our next collaboration." - Janet Wong, Associate Artistic Director, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company
"She is amazing...and created the energy I so wanted at the opening." - Deborah Willis, Author of Posing Beauty, on Moran's live soundscape for its debut
"I've had the opportunity to work with Alicia on several occasions over the past several years, most importantly on the 2007 performance The Revival for which she was one of the musical directors. Alicia's presence was invaluable and perpetually essential. Rarely do you met an artist who is so in-tune with the nuances of a collaborative space. Alicia is insightful and generous, and her talent is immense." - Adam Pendleton, Artist
"Like some wonderful dream…an evening salon of yester-year with all the performance, and spatial experience of a contemporary event." - Lowery Stokes Sims, Curator, and guest at a song installation
"What can I say? You were magnificent! I knew it was going to be good—but I didn't l know that it would be that good!!!! Our home has a different, rich patina now. It's been blessed with your magic." - Fred Wilson, Artist, and co-host of a song installation by Alicia Hall Moran
"Thank you for the simply sublime event on Saturday. The performance was absolutely electrifying! We have never experienced anything quite like that evening and it reminded us of why we live in New York..." - Guests at a private song installation
"Alicia, You are truly Amazing... and it has been an absolute pleasure to get to work with you on this great piece of art. You have really been an inspiration and gotten me through so many shows with your amazing Voice and Presence." - Antonio Brown, Dancer, Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company, Camille A. Brown Dance Company
