stunning & varied repertoire, a first-class group of singers.

Suzi Digby OBE, Judge of BBC Choir of the Year

a wonderful example of the past and present interconnecting... sent shivers racing down my spine.

Charles Spencer, The Daily Telegraph

The audience felt held in a warm and gracious embrace as well as truly engaged and inspired. Your choir had an innocence and purity of sound that is rare to find.

Satish Kumar, Tagore Festival Artistic Director

when you first mentioned the idea of us sending a CD, and then someone mixing one of our songs with one of yours, I was really asking myself – how is that going to work? And in the end, I didn't expect you'd choose the song that you did. But when we came to perform – it was amazing. We were there singing Asante Yesu and you were all there singing in your style – it was so moving!

Upendo lead singer Joshua Mlelwa

The Ishirini choir was a superb opening to the Festival. We were sitting near the front and could hear every one of the twenty individuals separately with their splendid voices, and yet simultaneously all together in a choir that was a community.

Dr Jean Hardy, audience member at the Tagore Festival, Dartington Hall

The program that me & my family attended was once in a life time experience for us. I hope that when my children are older , they would endeavor to grasp & learn how to experience, work and live with music in their lives. I would like to thank the whole choir once again for coming to Kalimpong with such an open heart & mind ... interacting with our society, and for sharing your beautiful music with the Tibetan community of Kalimpong. Your choir's visit in fact will remain one of the highlights of my life ,having hardly stepped out side Kalimpong - I could get a glimpse of  the worlds best from the comfort of my hometown . What more can I expect from LIFE!

Norden, owner of Holumba Haven, Kalimpong

I could not imagine how you would blend Western music with Tagore music. It was only after I heard it that I realised what you had in mind. It was absolutely a classic piece of brillance.

Leslie Ram, member of the congregation of Union Chapel, Kolkata

The Allegri Miserere was better than on the radio.

When you started singing I thought - wow - this is an amazing choir, we're in for a treat.

When you were singing the plainsong outside, you could have heard a pin drop inside.
