Testimonials
Cathy Britton, vocal director:
“As vocal director, I’ve been blessed to have Aubri Frey as my rehearsal accompanist for two musicals at the University of Sioux Falls, Godspell in 2017 and Into the Woods in 2018. If given the chance, I would not hesitate to hire Aubri again. She is not only a great piano player with top level skills, she is a terrific accompanist. She stays right with my fast pacing when playing vocal parts and accompaniments. Aubri comes to rehearsal prepared and on time. She is easy to work with and is always willing to spend more time if necessary. I highly recommend Aubri as a piano player and accompanist.”
Anna Thvedt, Student-director of Songs for a New World
“Aubri was an integral part of our production – from start to finish. The accompaniment was challenging to play, so I knew I had to get the best! Telling the story of the musical was just as important to her as it was to the rest of the cast and production team, and I would often turn to her for her thoughts and input. She made herself available to the cast for private practice, and was always willing to go the extra mile for the success of the show. I highly recommend Aubri Frey not only for her exceptional accompaniment talent, but also for her professionalism, expertise, and personality.”
Alissa Ross, Friend of Aubri:
“Aubri was so easy to work with for our wedding! We wanted two pieces with a vocalist, one of which also had a guitarist. She was able to guide me through the process of what sheet music to purchase and communicated well with my vocalist and guitar player. When it came to the rehearsal, she stepped up and made an executive decision that one of the pieces should be with the guitar only. I appreciate her professionalism and knowing what would be best for our wedding. Aubri was punctual and well prepared.”
Micki DeCurtins, Washington High School Theatre Director:
“Aubri is a wonderful accompanist, and I highly recommend her. I had the pleasure of working with her for a few months near the end of 2016. I was directing a musical at Washington High School, and began the school year thinking we had a staff member that could accompany the show. After finding out that we did not, I frantically began searching for an accompanist. I was referred toAubriby a mutual friend, and from the beginning of reaching out to her, I enjoyed working with her. Right away, Aubri put me at ease, and I knew we wouldn’t have to cancel the musical. She was incredibly flexible working with our schedule, and making it to the rehearsals we needed her for. Aubri stepped in, quite last minute,and I was astounded by her talent! Not only did she learn the intricate music in a short amount of time, but she also led the high school musicians with such ease. She gelled instantly with our orchestra teacher (who conducted the musical), and just brought our show to another level. Aubri is a great communicator, and also has an amazing laid-back, but upbeat attitude. Amidst the chaos that is directing a musical, it was such a relief to know that Aubri had things handled on the music side of things. I would be more than happy to work with Aubri any time!”
