“When it comes to special events, AOK Cabaret provides that rare combination of high quality and low cost. Our audience liked what they saw and heard so much the first time that we called them back for an encore performance the following year! When you add in that they are a mission-driven arts organization themselves you’ve got one great package.”
~ Jack Kaplan, United Way
“The performance was first-rate in every way! Our audience members truly experienced a full range of emotions as they journeyed with your performers through the evening’s program. They were consistently impressed with the quality of performance and had a fabulous time. Thank you, Hilary, for all the organizational work you put into the event. Hands down, this was the easiest benefit we at the School have ever been involved with.”
~ Rachel Snyder, Music Arts School, Highland Park, IL
“As I said Saturday night, the word ‘cabaret’ is too small a word for what you do. How your heart for humanity shines through your performance! The ensemble work was vocally flawless, the intonation so pure. It will be so good to see how AOK progresses. It is a wonderful service to mankind and a very enjoyable fundraiser.”
~ Lois Carlson, The Hospitality Center for the Homeless, Evanston, IL
“Words of appreciation are an inadequate expression of our thanks, but we are moved and touched by your generous act of outreach. Acts Of Kindness Cabaret is what its name says, a wonderful act of kindness on your part by providing an outstanding musical evening, with all of the profits going to our program. The proceeds were an added boost to our budget, and the event provided additional publicity for the program.”
~ Harvey Delery, First House, Racine, WI
“What a wonderful show! The three of you bring different vocal styles that work very well all together and as solos and duos. Your music selection kept the evening interesting, and I loved your pianist. I marveled both at all of your talents and at your altruism. I was inspired and moved--and entertained! Thank you so much for the gifts that all of you shared with us on Saturday evening.”
~ Julie Fenton, Foundation 65, Evanston, IL
“I was privileged to enjoy your recent performance at the Ecology Center in Evanston for a Foundation 65 Benefit. I thoroughly enjoyed your show and loved every part of it. Of course I got to thinking how great you would be for the non-profit organization with which I am affiliated: The Family Room, also in Evanston. How can I proceed in finding out when you might be available?”
~ Janet Winslow, The Family Room, Evanston, IL
“Hilary, Francesca and Anna your new show is great. Bravo! Just came across this reminder and want to thank you for a very entertaining and smiley, heartwarming evening.”
~ Sandy Incorvia, Highland Park, IL
“It is amazing all the work you all have done to put together Acts Of Kindness Cabaret. I admire you so much for what you wrote in the program. It states that since you live paycheck to paycheck, you discovered another way to help people and that is through your organization. Many people would have stopped after saying that financially they were unable to help, but you found some other way to help, and what a great job you have done. What a great show you all put on Saturday night! And knowing where the money was going added to the evening.”
~ David Casey, Prospect Heights, IL
