AUDIENCE COMMENTS!!!

‘You were fabulous….I was in tears (not an exaggeration, not a joke, just fact)

Oliver Alexander

‘I would like to congratulate you and Roman Kariolou for the wonderful evening at Hotel LONDA in Limassol

Costas Papadopoulos

‘Thanks for another memorable night last Friday, and in aid of a very worthy cause… What an interesting and varied programme too. I was especially moved by the Georgiades “Vocalises”. Your “acting” throughout the concert seemed perfectly matched to the music — natural, expressive, but never strained or exaggerated. And someone deserves compliments for that dazzling dress and stole!

Graham Colville

Dear Katerina…

‘Really lovely singing in the Verdi’s Requiem last Sunday – I can still hear your top C in the final movement, and the soft Bflat ‘Requiem’ just before it, was magic‘ Simon Vaughan

‘ I enjoyed Verdi’s Requiem last night and you performed brilliantly. It’s the first time I listen to you and found your top notes impressive.

‘You were wonderful last night, complete with a rich, warm and powerful voice. You can be soft and gentle and firm with real presence. You can act the part and you do it with style.

You so deserve it‘ Cos Gerolemou – Sculptor
