Columbia Choirs “was fantastic! I know our audience members truly enjoyed hearing the excellent tone, intonation, and musicality of your singers. Columbia Choirs (is) providing a great role model and inspiration for children and their parents throughout the Puget Sound area.
Meighan Pritchard, Seattle Symphony Education Coordinator
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.

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
A very beautiful and natural tone. A very high standard.
Bo Johansson, Choral Conductor, Sweden, Adjudicator, International Choral Kathaumixw (Canada)
Wonderful. Of all the groups we’ve heard [at the festival] you are the most well trained, most musical.

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.
Fine Choir…what a lovely, well-produced, warm sound. You shape the phrases so beautifully…excellent balance and fine use of varied tone colour.

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.
