Famous quotes

  • « I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don't think I'd have got where I am today without all that experience. So my advice to young singers is to either join your school or church's choir or find one in your local area. Choral music at any level teaches you so much about musicianship and blending your voice. »
    Katherine Jenkins
  • « When the truth is that there would be no great Western music, and certainly no decent choral repertoire, without the Catholic faith. »
    Richard Morris
