 review extracts - for full reviews click here:
“it certainly confirms claims that Melbourne's Choir of Ormond College is one of the best in this country and a serious candidate for international recognition. Bach, Byrd, Poulenc and Britten would no doubt agree. Superb.” - Panorama
“The singing is excellent ... as we have come to expect.” - ABC 24 Hours
“youthful vigor ... freshness of tone and a determination to overcome the technical difficulties an adventurous repertory presents.” - The Age
“Something, I would think, to please everyone” - Australian Music Teacher Magazine
"Spot-on intonation and stunning high soprano solo ... [the group's] distinct sound and skill are very well suited for [the] early music style." - Matthew Martinez (ConcertoNet)
