“So many exciting, interesting and beautiful musical discoveries! A rich aural joy, by which one can only wonder why one hasn’t encountered these works previously in concert… Sequel for Women’s Day 2016 planned I trust!”
Sabine Scherrer

“You (director Jessica Ulusoy-Horsley) led excellent rehearsal work, were always polite and patient, which I greatly valued, and conducted inspirationally at the concert, leading well but also giving the necessary freedom to make music. Congratulations and “chapeau” – because the programme was not easy and the group had never before made music together…”
Rico Zela, 2^nd Oboe, L’anima giusta

“It is unbelievable that the works of women composers were “unheard” for so long – simply because women composed them! It was indescribably beautiful to experience the musical creative power of four women composers on International Women’s Day. Huge thanks go to Jessica Ulusoy-Horsley and to all the musicians and others involved.”
