If The Presser Foundation allowed it, this review of the Elevate Vocal Arts’ (EVA) Bent, But Not Broken (BBNB) Conference would be as short as the preceding statement. Alas, this transformative conference deserves a more robust description.

On October 6th, the esteemed vocal ensemble Elevation, part of the Elevate Vocal Arts organization, graced the stage at Abington Presbyterian Church (PA) as part of the Music At Abington Concert Series. This free concert showcased Elevation, Delaware’s sole professional vocal ensemble, leveraging its extraordinary vocal prowess to deliver a rich tapestry of musical styles.

After the 2023 debut album release of Elevation’s beautiful and lush Eternity, the musical bar had seemingly been set so high, one might be forgiven for asking what this non-profit Elevate Vocal Arts’ flagship ensemble of 39 vocal artists could possibly do for an encore. For those pondering this conundrum, wonder no more, because sometimes sequels can actually supersede their original form. Don’t believe us? Dear and Constant Reader, we direct you to the sophomore Elevation LP, Are You Looking For Me, one of the best listens you’re likely to experience this year or any.
