Testimonials From Audience Members

John Boozman, U.S. Congressman, 3rd District of Arkansas
"The Singing Men of Arkansas are a treasure - Director Michael Bedford and the ensemble move through pop, spirituals, romantic and sacred with musical dexterity that proves excellence is never out of style. I would be remiss if I didn't mention their patriotic prowess. The music is inspiring and the group is obviously committed to their craft. Arkansas can be proud to have this group call our great state home. I'm a fan and I believe you will be too!"

Dr. Eddie W. Jones, Professor, School of Music, University of Arkansas
"How I enjoyed your Men's Choir last evening! The music was appropriate and your men were intensely engaged from the softest pianissimo to the loudest fortissimo. The variety of dynamics was arresting and the phrasing was outstanding. If I had the time I would certainly love to be a part of this ensemble. Keep up the great work of spreading joy to the masses. "

Sean O'Healy, Chief Executive, Galway Hospice Foundation, Galway, Ireland
"Thank you for choosing Galway Hospice as the beneficiary of your concert in Galway. We value and appreciate every event that is held in our benefit, but even more so when the event is born of such conviction, wrapped in such excellence, and delivered with such passion.", "You certainly believe in excellence. It was a privilege to listen to (and watch) a choir sing with such unity of purpose and voice.  Well done!"

Sue Ann Lee
"It was the most awesome experience to hear you guys sing and the pianist...WOW! He was just amazing! I come from a very musical family and have attended many 'singings' in my life and have never heard anything like his/your performance! You are very blessed to have him in your group, and of course the harmony was just beautiful. At times I had chills...I was so impressed. Thank you so much for sharing your God given gifts."

Sam Hutcheson
"I heard the group at St. Paul's and thought it was great. I enjoyed it very much! Very professional group. Well led and well performed."

Duane Blakley, Minister of Music, Barcelona Road Baptist Church, Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
"We at Barcelona Road Baptist Church in Hot Springs Village greatly enjoyed the recent concert by the Singing Men of Arkansas. The men looked great and sounded great under the direction of an outstanding conductor in a variety of excellent music. We especially appreciated the classical selections, but enjoyed the entire program. The barbershop quartet added spice to an already delicious serving of tasteful choral music. We hope to have the group back next year."

Harold B. Chilton
"I attended a recent concert of Singing Men of Arkansas. While I was expecting a good presentation I was very pleasantly surprised by the excellent musicianship I observed. The balance and the intonation achieved by this group of men, most of whom would not describe themselves as professionals, was quite amazing. I was greatly pleased and predict good success in the future for them."

Carl Grimes
"Men's voices, united yet separate, are a unique musical treat and the Singing Men of Arkansas (SMA) provided a treat for the ears at the concert I attended at First United Methodist Church in Springdale.

"Singing a variety of types of music, including a wonderful barbership quartet, SMA filled the auditorium with tenor, baritone and bass sounds that blended wonderfully under the direction of Mike Bedford.

"Bravo!"

Kerry Johnston, Minister of Music, First United Methodist Church, Springdale, Arkansas
"The Singing Men of Arkansas presented a great concert at our church! The program was nicely balanced between sacred and secular, and the sound of the men filled the sanctuary in a wonderful way. Mike Bedford's sensitive conducting certainly brought out the talented singing of this inspirational group of musical men."

Mark Maier, Associate Pastor of Worship/Music, First Baptist Church, Rogers, Arkansas
"Great concert! Loved the energy, excellence, and expression. You gave us great variety, and did an outstanding job with vowel unification, warming the sound. I'm also thankful for your faith that you demonstrated. Keep up the great work."

Patricia Parr
"The presentation at Central United Methodist Church in Fayetteville was superb. My spirit soared as I listened to the richness of all those voices. I pray the Lord’s blessing on each of you and your friends. Numbers 6:24-26."
