I do think one of my strengths is the ability to adapt to whatever the situation is.

There are probably limits on what the choir can sing well.

From the beginning, music has been the chosen way to express feelings that words alone can't.

It's a great privilege and a highlight for choir and orchestra members to perform for audiences in live concerts.

I think music - it sounds cliche, but music can be very healing.

Music has unique ways of speaking to the soul.

The great folk hymns are a perfect marriage of text and tune. There are those that have nice messages and some with good music, but it is such a bonus when they are both wonderful.

People love to hear the choir sing the hymns.

Most of our American musical heritage is based on European models, but the folk hymns and spirituals are one of the most fertile and unique of our American musical traditions.

We are always fortunate to have our own sound folks with us that do a great job in ensuring that everybody can hear and the sound is good.

Usually, all I want is peace and quiet when I'm driving home.

True excellence is a product of synergy.
