Praise for From Captivity to the Holy City:
“…Very adventurous…A strong recommendation…Courageous choice of music…Wide and varied program you would welcome in concert performances…Reverberant acoustic of the St. James Cathedral in Seattle…With a nice tonal quality, the male and female voices are ideally weighted to produce a precise balance. At the appropriate points they can bring a nice cutting edge to their singing, and entries have razor-sharp precision…One is impressed by the ease with which they take every musical hurdle.”―David Denton, Fanfare, March/April 2001
