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

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.

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!

Mateo Messina, grammy award-winning composer

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.

Simon Halsey, Chairman of Adjudication Panel, International Musical Eisteddfod, Llangollen, Wales, Fourth Place in Children’s Choir Division

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.

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

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

Congratulations on your marvelous choirs. In a word, WOW!

Eleanor Daley (Canadian composer)

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.
