“We enjoyed having Table for 5 here for our ‘Sounds of the 60s’ concert. They were great to work with, and we especially appreciated their willingness to work with local school students. Our audience really enjoyed the concert – it was fun and upbeat, and brought back lots of memories. I hope we can work with them again in the future!”
Brian Obitz, Artistic Administrator, West Shore Symphony
“Table for 5 is a polished singing ensemble that distinguishes itself by way of its musicality, adaptability and interpretive skills. I have always marveled at their ability to take creative ideas and run with them. These are talented individuals with unique, yet complementary temperaments. The ensemble is adept at presenting a multitude of musical styles, while conveying their joy at performing to an audience.”
