“Thank you so much for such an amazing week – I really had the time of my life. Working with such wonderful leaders in the setting of Marchmont House was deeply inspiring in an artistic sense, and the intensity of the week definitely brought me and the other singers closer together too – all in all, a completely marvellous week, artistically and socially!”
