She has music written across her soul. Spiritual is such an amazingly powerful song. I could listen to her lecture for hours on end. And then to see her face light up at the end when she describes the joy of community singing.......
The interview has really encouraged me. I’ve love singing since i was in Second Grade. Now 58, never having followed a career in music, but never losing my love of music, & never taking to reading music (* i tried when I was 12/13 years old, but played the clarinet by memorizing the song). I so want to participate in & eventually lead some type of choral group, bringing in percussionists, & sign language. Thank you so much!!
ysaye is a true treasure! taking her workshop at rowe conference center in massachusetts still delights my memories and joy, years and years later.
Indeed, some of my best moments of singing in my life come from singing with Ysaye. I'll always be grateful.
