The tonal quality, nuance of phrasing, energy, enthusiasm, and overall musicianship and professional discipline of this ensemble were absolutely remarkable.” Bennett Britt, New Orleans, LA (OKCCC Choir Tour) “Never have I heard a chorus with such precise diction, unanimous vowel sound, balanced parts, and moving interpretation. I drove home on a cloud.” Ray Ackerman, Hilton Head, SC (SCGSAH Choir with Hilton Head Orchestra) “Ryan Hebert has proven to be a person who is unafraid to take risks, who takes responsibility for his actions, and who is a gifted instructor. He enjoys providing his students with a variety of musical experiences, and he is an asset to the college.” Susan VanSchuyver, OKC, OK “From the first chords, they were completely in charge of the music and of themselves and totally responsive to you. I was transported by their sound to a place somewhere in mid-air, where the sound existed and was free and easy. At all times, the music was going somewhere, whether through small crescendoes in the phrases that were just right, to the pianissimo sounds of the men, to the lift and arch in the vocal sound itself. I cannot say enough about how right this performance was.” Debra Brubaker, Goshen College (University of Kansas Concert Choir Performance) Department of Music Contact Courses CV Performances About
