"That was magic! Could you hear how quiet the audience was while you were performing? We didn't want your performance to end!" — Weston Noble, Conductor Emeritus, Luther College

"This was an evening of sheer, staggering choral magic: none who were there will ever forget it. I never thought I'd say this, but it was fully on a par with the work of the otherwise peerless Westminster Choir that performs in the very same venue every spring during Spoleto. Like them, this choir has it all: needlepoint precision and intonation, uncanny dynamic sensitivity, and the kind of emotive power that makes for non-stop goose bumps and throat-lumps. With many rich and well-trained voices among them, they are able to produce choral sonorities ranging from icy-clear purity to earthy roars. World-class choral artistry now resides in Charleston year-round." — Lindsay Koob, Critic — American Record Guide/Charleston City Paper
