Douze Cordes Guitar Duo at Strathmore Mansion, July 28th, 2005 Washington Post Review "The guitar duo of Michael Bard and Corey Whitehead offered an amiable, easy-listening program of largely Iberian-inspired music Thursday to the audience on the lawn of the Mansion at Strathmore. Bard and Whitehead tailored their performance to the serenity of a cool evening. The most interesting and rhythmically exciting music-making came in the second half of the program in Turina's "Rafaga" played as a solo by Whitehead; in two pieces by Bonfa that Bard played with considerable intensity; and in a flamboyant Flamenco dance by Baliardo delivered by the duo with compelling energy."   Joan Reinthaler, The Washington Post, July 30th, 2005
