"One of the finest artists I have ever worked with"
J. Ernest Green
Artistic Director, Live Arts Maryland
“Susan Eichhorn Young is one of the finest artists I have ever worked with. Her performances bring a depth of emotion and insight to the stage that is wonderful to be a part of. Whether onstage herself, or working with young artists, helping them develop their talents, she is authentic, focused, and thoroughly committed to her craft. In short... Susan is the real deal!”
"One of the most exceptional artists working today"
Kathy Olsen
Founder of Encompass Arts, LLC
“The ability to help guide another person to use an instrument that no one can touch takes myriad skills. Susan Eichhorn Young can do this. She has a mastery of singing and using her voice in speech. Combine that with her stage presence, knowledge of music and drama, and you will find only a handful of such gifted artists. Hearing her sing, watching her perform, or, just spending time with her, talking about all matters vocal, you will realize you are in the presence of greatness. Susan is a keen observer of life and she infuses these observations with all she touches. She is a cherished friend and colleague and one of the most exceptional artists working today.”
"Fresh blood to the NY cabaret... truly imaginative"
Cabaret Scenes
“Susan Eichhorn-Young dazzled a sold-out crowd at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in her first performance in six years. The chanteuse, who splits time between Pennsylvania and New York, received not one but two standing ovations, the first midway through the show after one of the best renditions of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” I’ve ever heard. In dim lights, you might take Young for Chita Rivera—she sports the trademark Chita cut and her face bears more than a passing resemblance to that of the Broadway legend. The comparison does not end there. Eichhorn-Young has a commanding stage presence. She’s a belter with impeccable phrasing and control, who can tell a story at a lower register or lose herself in a long high note.”
"Wields her beautiful, colorful voice with a fine sense of style and with no hint of hesitancy or reserve"
Journal of Singing
Gregory Berg
“Where do our songs come from? What influences tend to shape them most profoundly? How is it that some songs are written for a particular stage (e.g., the recital stage, the theater stage, the cabaret stage), but find new life on other stages? Susan Eichorn-Young’s entertaining disk is the kind of collection that inspires such questions, and releases like this may help us to consider the world of song much more freely and creatively. These twelve songs represent the work of four very different composers-Weill, Bolcom, Poulenc, Sondheim-but they seem to be entirely comfortable in one another’s contrived company. Eichorn-Young’s ability to navigate this array of songs and their styles is key to this disk’s cohesiveness and effectiveness. She wields her beautiful, colorful voice with a fine sense of style and with no hint of hesitancy or reserve. Lyrics are delivered with assurance, aplomb, and perfect clarity. There are occasional patches of rough intonation and a few brief instances where the more intricate melodic curves are not perfectly traced, but those are fleeting moments in what is otherwise fine singing of these songs, all of which to varying degrees bring the atmosphere of the cabaret to mind. Eichorn-Young sings in three languages here, and she is a potent communicator in all three... dispatching this complex text (Pirate Jenny: Threepenny Opera) and melody with a sense of flourish and fun that brings Lotte Lenya herself to mind.”

"Thrilling... knows how to develop, put together and perform a show"
Cindy Sadler
Mezzo-Soprano
“As a cabaret artist, Susan is thrilling. She really knows how to develop, put together and perform a show! I personally seek her advice on all of the above and she has never steered me wrong.”
"Beauty, honesty, and storytelling each time"
Cara McLeod
Soprano and Voice Teacher
“I have seen Susan perform on several occasions, and have been moved by the beauty and honesty of her voice, and her capacity for storytelling each time. I am further inspired by Susan’s work ethic in continuing to learn, explore, create and live this art form.”
