What people say about Ylva
"We had such a GOOD time at the concert. You are terrific and you owned the house when you were on stage. I'd love to see you do more of that!" - Beda Farrell, Rhapsody In Rock, San Diego Civic Theatre, November 13, 2005.

 

"Congratulations to an outstanding performance at the RWells concert. To be honest, I knew you have tremendous talent but not that you already are a top performer! - Bo Hedfors, San Diego Civic Theatre, November 13, 2005.

 

"We met Ylva while she was leading the Santa Lucia procession when we played at the annual Nobel Banquet. After the event, Ylva, who’d already impressed us with her singing of Swedish folk music, came up to the stage and said, 'you know, I sing jazz, too.' Boy, does she!" – Chris Klich quartet, 2005 

 

"Ylva Elias is a musical and performing talent to be reckoned with... involved in all kinds of cultural activities promoting Swedishness, from singing jazz and conducting her Swedish Choir, to calling the cows with the ancient vocal technique known as "kulning". – Dr. A.C.Harvey, Prof. in Theatre SDSU, 2005
