"We have given up our Nutcracker tickets to see you!"
"We look forward to your concerts each year. That is why we always buy your tickets early." (This person purchased 27 tickets!)
"As always, your talent and beautiful program left us uplifted and joyous."
"Katherine, you looked stunning and Bronn, you are such a peaceable entertainer. You make such a handsome couple together."
"We've had more WONDERFUL and satisfied comments on this opening night concert!!! Really, folks just loved them. They loved the artistry and beauty of the performance, both the harping and the singing! They enjoyed the teaching moments arranged by Bronn, to explain the workings of both of his harps. They warmed right up to the performers because of their gracious, friendly, humorous style. AND, their music was Wonderous!!
"I must say that I had never paid attention to the John Denver song "Perhaps Love" before and have listened to it since. Katherine's rendition (I honestly know now what they mean when they say "make the song your own") touched me more than I can explain. Simply Beautiful!
In my humble opinion, Katherine's voice rivals that of Sarah Brightman!
I had the pleasure of watching and listening to Bronn and Katherine at a recent performance. Both of you excel in your field of music. There is no question about Bronn being the most capable musician in the world with a harp. Period. And his sometimes subtle, sometimes obvious, comical method of leading the audience thru the presentatiion is really one of the best 'performer/audience' relatiionships I have seen. Then Katherine, the beautiful, most talented vocalist, is so outstanding in her realm that there is no comparison with others. I have listened to many, many ladies known to be excellent in their vocal abilities, even Streisand, but none compare with Katherine Journey. I don't have any other sufficient adjectives to describe the most pleasant feelings she creates in folks listening to her.
I just want to let you know how much my wife and I enjoyed your concert last night. It was simply enthralling! The time just flew by. The variety of music was surprising, the humor was refreshing and the music itself was enchanting. For some reason your music reminded me of fine crystal glassware; it was delicate, beautifully crafted, easy on the eyes and had an exquisitely pleasing sound to it.
Years ago at one of your concerts I told you this but I so want to tell you again. There are many people who can give a performance with technically sound techniques. They can play all the right notes, temp, etc. However, in my opinion, the true tell of a great performer is one who plays with heart. When I attend your concerts it touches my spirit. It moves me. I smile big. I love your music. Thank you.
Your concert in Des Plaines, IL on Sun. Feb. 18th was fantastic. Two other friends and I have belonged to the Community Concerts for years and we all agreed that yours was one of the best we've ever heard..
I've heard female singers at the Met in NYC, and at the Munich and Paris opera companies, but I've never heard a more beautiful voice than Katherine's. I noticed a number of people, other than myself, with tears in their eyes after her singing. Her voice is magical. May I make a request: please create a CD of John Denver songs; Katherine is the only person I've heard who can improve on John (a favorite singer of mine). Please!
Bronn was compared to Garrison Kieler in his presentation by audience members."
The Press Comments:

"Their concerts are very entertaining. Don't you dare miss attending!" The Wenatchee World

"A true showman, a wonderful artist on the harp..." The Seattle Times
