Quotes and Comments

Last night's concert was a triumph - I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be coming to future ones. What a lot of talent there is in Saffron Walden youth!

Thank you so much for organising the Vivaldi project. Everyone I spoke to - including myself - was surprised and thrilled at the high level and beauty of the concert. It was a wonderful evening. My daughter enjoyed herself thoroughly and was thrilled to take part in a proper choir.

'Many thanks for all the hard work that everyone put into Friday's concert - it was a fabulous evening, both for the performers and the audience'
