The Crown College Choir

".....The Crown College Choir of Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA) sang at the summer music program of the Gloger Academy of Music in June of this year. Their program was performed with soulful clarity and the best of musical expression. While many choirs take part in the Academy's summer concert series, this choir left a special impression. The group of singers worked together in a remarkable fashion. Their enjoyment of life and human interaction was amazing and the choir's musical production reflected this. When good singers work so well together under the professional maestro Donelson, the result is the Crown College Choir."..... Kongsberg, Norway, (June, 2005)

"...The Crown College Choir proved that they were well prepared and executed every piece with great skill and artistry. They demonstrated great professionalism and the highest level of musical quality..." Lillehammer, Norway (June, 2001)
