The range of songs and styles you're able to cover and how well you pull them all off is so impressive. Always worth at least twice the ticket price you charge.

Seeing you perform in a smaller space was really something! Hearing those harmonies in fill the whole room gave me goosebumps.

Well worth the whirlwind drive up from Vancouver. Having the orchestra along for the ride this time was fun, too!"

Attended the AURA Love & Fate concert this weekend. It was delightful, and their voices were superb and rang throughout the church. It always amazes me how a relatively small group can produce such a big, wonderful sound. Thank you!

I came from your performance so excited, happy, and full of music! A wonderful performance, well-directed, well-organized, and obviously enjoyed by the choir as well as the audience! Harmonious, beautiful, I could HEAR each part. The orchestra in the second half fitted wonderfully. All the soloists were amazing, all of them. I could go on and on! Keep singing, you're great!!

The concert was wow. Their voices were amazing. If you closed your eyes, it was like you were in a cathedral with professional singers. The acoustics in the church were superb. Well done! We really enjoyed it.
