Reviews
"The Chamber Singers are quickly becoming one of the premiere choral ensembles in the nation, and Dr. Evans has elicited a sensitive, rich, and opulent sound from these young singers. The accompanying instrumentals (organ, strings, and oboe) are exciting, crisp, and brilliantly suited to Gawthrop’s fresh and rich harmonic compositional style. This recording truly represents some of the finest music making anywhere, and is a stunning addition to the choral recording landscape."
-Craig Jessop, former director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

“I don't believe I have ever been better served as a composer in either live performances or recordings. The choral sound is absolutely first rate, lush and opulent. The choir gives the impression that they're doing all of this without breaking a sweat!”
-Daniel E. Gawthrop, composer
