“The experiences of hearing the ensemble in concert are simply breathtaking. They remove me from the world of the roaring traffic's boom into a world of both beauty and excitement. The profound and soaring beauty of the talented voices in HVAE reaches into and moves one's brain like perhaps no other performance art can.” — A Longtime Patron, 2011 • • • “A Luxuriant Sonic Delight” — Joseph Rothstein, Honolulu Advertiser • • • “The performances are crisp, harmonic, seductive—in a traditional no frills manner.” — Wayne Harada, Honolulu Advertiser • • • “Wow...You all have done it again! The blend was wonderful for each section and the chorus as a whole. The sopranos sounded especially angelic.” — 2007 patron • • • “The orchestra, the choir, and the star singers were outstanding” — 2007 patron • • • “I still cannot find words to express the depth of my response to the power and beauty of the evening.” — 2007 patron • • •
