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.

Your choirs’ voices sounded incredible from where I was on the stage, which can only mean it was even better for others in the hall. Really well done. We threw you a challenge and you rose to the occasion and just nailed it! Wow, really great work. Well done!

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.
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).

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.
