"The singers in Sacra/Profana are experts in shaping all aspects of their sound."
– Luke Schulze, San Diego Union Tribune
​
“American choral works about love and death wonderfully sung by SACRA/PROFANA a riveting performance from all.”
– Christian Hertzog, San Diego Union-Tribune
“Amrein’s direct and understated approach to directing appeared calmly centered, even in the most ebullient musical effusions. Yet she elicited from SACRA/PROFANA some of the most persuasive and deeply committed communication–without compromising any of its ensemble elegance– I have heard from this choir. And in this concert, the women sang with astonishing splendor.”
– Ken Herman, San Diego Story
“SACRA/PROFANA is to be lauded for courageously tackling unfamiliar music.”
– Marcus Overton, San Diego Union-Tribune
