Green Valley (AZ) News: Clarinetist Douglas Monroe gave a beautiful performance of Webers Concerto No. 2 for Clarinet, its Recitative and ala Polacca. Monroe was flawless in his technique, impeccable in his intonation, and dramatic in his interpretation. Richmond (VA) Times-Dispatch: (The Soldiers Tale) was a wry delight.. Lancaster (OH) Eagle-Gazette: In one word, it was inspiring. (performance of Krommer Concerto for Two Clarinets in Eb by Douglas Monroe and James Heffernan) Flint (MI) Herald: lively clarinet soloist for Polacca from Concerto No. 2 (Carl Maria von Weber). His light woodwind passages were accented with fluid runs that won firm crowd approval. Lima (OH) News: Douglas Monroe displayed his expertise on the clarinet, soloing on Carl Maria von Webers Polacca from Concerto No. 2His playing was serious. Monroes fingers never missed a note in running a series of scales. His breath was accurate as he changed octaves from a low E to high F.
