“Stunning. The choir is a conduit of the Spirit’s inner work.”

“I loved the concert. You’re an amazing talent and transmitter of joy. I expect to attend all concerts you produce, especially if they are sacred or ecstatic in any way.  Your director’s musicology is astounding and the stagecraft = amazing.”
