My 5th grade son, Michael, had a wonderful time at SingFest. He went to the four rehearsals with great enthusiasm, and was thrilled to get the opportunity to perform at Benaroya Hall (how many other 11 year olds get that chance?!)

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

Bravo!…A truly professional performance, aurally and visually. Your faces radiated your joy and enthusiasm…a joy to watch you.

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.
