TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS
'I want to sincerely thank you for the wonderful week studying Baroque music for the Historical Performance Program. It was a truly informative and inspiring program. I personally gained so much knowledge, curiosity and confidence in this repertoire, and observed growth in all my colleagues as well. Thank you for providing such a great environment for learning and making music in a truly positive and nurturing atmosphere.'
Rachel Pines (Canada|Germany)

'Thank you so much, and to Professor Byron Knutson and Deborah York for a wonderful course. I learned so much, both musically, stylistically and technically, and I have started to properly work on the technical aspects that Deborah York worked with me on and it's already made a huge difference to my singing! I am so excited and so grateful and I can't wait to see what happens to my voice long term as it is already so much happier and freer.'

'Both prof. Knutson and Prof. York are amazing, knowledgeable. Put them in a room with students and magic will happen no matter what.'
