We had 38 singers from 3 or 4 different countries, all engaged and supportive listeners as well as fabulous singers. I'm so grateful to Lynn for enabling us to come together and keep our community strong and build it as well during these hard times."
-- Heather Livingston, Maryland
"The sessions are well steered, with no idle chat – and yet there’s always time for a cordial welcome. The host’s respect for the participants goes hand-in-voice with the sense of mutual trust that this engenders. Singers therefore experience a feeling of being valued, not least for adding value to the shared experience.”
--David Kidman, Yorkshire, UK
