"Congratulations for an outstanding performance of “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace” on Saturday. The visual drama of the Brisbane City hall was matched by the outstanding drama of this amazing choir and orchestra. For people who think that choirs aren’t their cup of tea, think again. This group packs all of the punch of an outstanding movie, with music and a message that carries with you long after the event. For those who couldn’t make it this time, I suggest you clear your calendar for their next performance..."

"It was simply stunning, spine tingling in places (the ad lib charge!), very poignant in others. Wonderful collaboration of all elements, under the expressive hands and baton of Emily. Perfection of tone and blend from the choir and the movement of singers around the stage added to the atmosphere. Soloists wonderful too. A dramatic and evocative piece performed superbly. Thank you for a great concert!"

"It was a wonderful and very moving performance. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment."

Thank you and congratulations for such an uplifting and artistically high calibre performance on Sunday. It was thrilling, rapturous,...heartfelt and deeply personal - just the way this great testament to the human condition should be.

"It was a huge triumph Emily! Thank you for choosing such awesome repertoire and having the vision for such a spectacular project."

"Great choir, splendid orchestra, grand music, thank you Emily. Well done all."

"Grand afternoon of sublime music in the wonderfully restored Brisbane City Hall"​
