I feel like a new singing world is opening ahead of me and my choir, since so many new experiences, techniques and ways of working are possible.

I wasn't expecting to be so moved or touched coming into this...I saw a new perspective and was exposed to a new philosophy about what a choir could be.

This short but meaningful time has affected me in ways unimaginable, and I am filled with energy from it that I will carry with me into my musical work.

...the energy of 50 people singing together, breathing together, reaching out to each other, paying attention and giving themselves to the music – I can’t find words to explain the profoundness and power of my feelings.
