Your group has been such an integral part of our Ten Grands show for many years! Such a polished and profession group of young singers! Such great leadership under Steve! Thank you!

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.

[An] impressive feat of singing and good sense of style. A joy to hear!
Dr. Guy Jansen Choral Conductor, New Zealand, International Music Festival in Sydney, Australia
A variety of music performed with assurance and understanding. An excellent choir who clearly enjoy their music making… a tribute to their conductor.

A heartfelt thank you once again for wowing all of us at The Big Party last week to benefit the programs of Assistance League of the Eastside. Our guests were thrilled with all of it: the drama of the surprise performance, the exquisite voices [of Con Brio], the bold musical selections and the glorious experience of being treated to all that magic outside on a perfect summer night. We will never forget what a thrill it was to be treated to that very special performance.

I don’t know if you realize how much you have touched my life. I truly believe that you are a huge part of why I am where I am today. My experiences in Columbia Choirs are some of the best memories of my life. The attention to detail and musicality in your choirs is second to none and has trained me so well to move into high caliber music programs such as…Oklahoma City University.
Molly, former choir member
I would like to tell you that this was one of the best experiences my daughter Betsy had. She is still talking about it and thinking about joining Columbia Choirs in the fall. I have taught music on the church level for many years…(being in SingFest)was wonderful, exceptional, and way more than we could have imagined.
Thank you so much for the beauty [the choir] brought the Cathedral’s program – they were wonderful, strong, clear, musical. . . what a treasure Seattle has in this choir of yours!
Jim Savage, Music Director Cathedral of St. James, Seattle
Wonderful. Of all the groups we’ve heard [at the festival] you are the most well trained, most musical.
