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.

I hope you realize what a large part you have played in nurturing (our son’s) self esteem and his outgoing personality, in addition to the wonderful musical education of course!. You and your whole choir program are doing wonderful things for so many kids. (We) have also enjoyed being part of Columbia Choirs and will miss it. Thanks again for everything.

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 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.
A very beautiful and natural tone. A very high standard.

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.

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.
