Vehars music has honesty, clarity and compositional skill.

Her six songs give enticing glimpses of a fresh sort of
whiskey-breathed art song.

Persis Parshall Vehars Sound-Piece is at once jazzy and
pointillistic. Both serious and tongue-in-cheek, it integrates a wide
and divergent array of melodic material into a cogently worked out
essay.
Zagorski, Fanfare

To me, music is a perfect blending of the heart and head. Certainly it
is a direct expression of soul. Yet, as a fulltime professional
composer and performer, communication to an audience is also important
to me. I believe that a natural evolution from music of the past wedded
to new and different ideas makes for accessibility and listenability to
my audience.
