I was just thinking about the awesome tour to Norway & Sweden 20 years ago – thank you for the many opportunities that you created through Columbia! We are all better musicians and humans for your efforts and passion.

Wonderful. Of all the groups we’ve heard [at the festival] you are the most well trained, most musical.

Columbia Choirs “was fantastic! I know our audience members truly enjoyed hearing the excellent tone, intonation, and musicality of your singers. Columbia Choirs (is) providing a great role model and inspiration for children and their parents throughout the Puget Sound area.

Our son’s “interest in and passion for music has expanded dramatically this past year. To the point where he has moved from considering music as a minor in college to considering it as a major. That is a culmination of your role [Mr. Stevens] in both of his choirs…”. “Our baseline goal for [him] and music has been that he develop an enjoyment, appreciation and possibly a passion for it. Thank you for YOUR part in helping [him] raise it to the level of a passion.

The teaching was very professional, yet fun, and the experience of singing at Benaroya Hall was awesome. Thank you and Columbia Choirs for allowing Betsy to be a part of this wonderful experience. I know this is something she and I will both remember for a lifetime.
I wanted to thank you very much for the opportunity for Brandon to participate in the All-Region Choir. It was a great learning experience for him (and us).
