Magnificent… Great tuning… Love that sound! Thanks for a great performance, men! You look and sound great!

Michael Gormley, Director of the Vienna Choirboys, Adjucator, International Choral Kathaumixw (Canada), Second Place: Children’s Choir Division

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.

Very impressive with excellent stage presentation…beautifully shaped performance…most distinguished performance..fantastic sense of line. We were extremely impressed…really nice open throated sound.

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.

Fantastic, Wonderful Choir! Wish I could take them on tour with me!!

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

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!
