What some of our audience members are saying…

…about our 2022 performances:

“As always, we really enjoyed the CVE concert. Complex arrangements of some familiar carols were a great start to Christmas festivities.”

“I want to repeat how much I enjoyed the Vocal Ensemble’s performance this afternoon. So much lovely music, and all beautifully sung.”

“It was such a wonderful rush of happiness. Masterful preparation (loved that some was sung from memory – allows more connection with the audience), great programming and an overall thoughtful program. Kudos to all.”

“The CVE has a wonderfully blended sound. The selection of music was quite exciting as well. It’s wonderful to bring a community together through music.”

“WOW That was a concert to remember. Please offer our congrats to the entire merry crew. Quite excellent all around.”

and from For the Flowers

“Incredible performance! Your ensemble is truly astounding. The blend, intonation, dynamics, etc.; it took me back to my days as a music major at IC. You folks are remarkable!”
