“Under the expert direction of Dr. Iris S. Levine, the voices are gorgeous, the production is excellent and the performances are top notch. This group is a precious gem in the musical crown of Los Angeles. May they continue for another 20 years.”

Los Angeles Times
“It was evident that few choirs are as engaged as Vox Femina . . . rarely does so much individual personality shine through a choral group as the singers responded to the subject matter in a personally committed way.”

Nick Strimple, American Choral Review
“…VOX Femina [is] a women’s choir…whose accomplishment is extraordinary. Challenging works by Stephen Paulus, Roger Bourland, and others were presented with ease, grace, wit and an obvious love of music absent in virtually every other ensemble at the conference. The standing ovation was spontaneous, and the only one at the conference that was really deserved.”
