Audience Buzz
A Favorite Since 1976!
“ Wonderful GVOC concert tonight! I thought there was much more enthusiasm than ever before. Dynamics and enunciation were great. I especially liked having much less accompaniment which allowed voices to be heard. Program choices were good, too. And, what a nice big audience! Merry Christmas! (December 2012 – With Joyous Note) ”

“ I had a friend who said it was the best $12 he ever spent and another who said it was a holy moment in her life. ”
Lita Boudakian, GVOC member
“ I am struggling with words that would explain the surprise we felt when the incredibly beautiful music began filling our souls. Music resounding into the depth of our being and releasing such joy. How does one thank a group of people for bringing back a balance of what is beautiful in this often maligned society? ”
