war-horse as a newly-played symphony full of vibrancy and
originality...”during a Pacific Symphony Orchestra subscription
concert in front of a 8,000 member audience at Irvine Meadows
Amphitheater in Southern California. The Orange County Register
noted, “Stoyanovich showed that she is a splendid talent,
musical and with rock-solid technique...[she] made the New
