Testimonial

"Mark S. Doss made an admirable Elijah, singing from the pulpit, his vast deep bass-baritone carrying steadily to the back of the packed cathedral. Elijah's imprecations are not the most winning music in the oratorio; indeed, the role sometimes calls for stentorian oversinging. But Doss was always convincing and he brought a pleading urgency to the great aria 'It is Enough' that was decidedly uncommon."

— The Washington Post

(As Elijah in Mendelssohn's Oratorio of the same name with Cathedral Choral Society at the National Cathedral)
