REVIEWS:
Prior to your concert in Dangjin tonight, I thought that the concert would be like any other concert which I had heard before.  However, your concert was different, and I had to spend time thinking about why that particular concert was different for me. After a lot of thought, I realized that you see and hear something in each piece of music that I can’t see or hear.  The sound of every piece is different.  I must learn to hear what you hear!  –Park, Hern Ho, Music Arranger (Dangjin-gun Chorus–Dangjin, South Korea)

Your hands are the voice of God, and your faith is evident in every gesture. For those who believe, it’s like seeing the Gospel. –Lee, Ji Yeon (Alto, Dangjin-gun Chorus–Dangjin, South Korea)

Since yesterday, I have been thinking a lot about what you have done with our choir, and I think that you are a magician, a wizard! You make the unthinkable possible! –Jeon, E Hwa (Soprano, Dangjin-gun Chorus–Dangjin, South Korea)

So many color changes, so many styles, and the radiant faces of the choir.  You stepped in front of the choir, and it was a completely different choir.  It was unbelievable!  Bravo!  Thank you for coming, Maestro. –Chief Office Kang (Dangjin Culture and Arts Center–Dangjin, South Korea)

What a privilege to sing with such a great musician. Thank you, Maestro.
