Kudos

Paula Rockwell’s master classes:

• I can’t say enough about Paula’s musicianship, her professionalism, and her extraordinary kindness.
• Paula covers all the bases and issues that are presented in a very professional, fun, and engaging way! She is truly an inspiration, not only in her musical skill but her people skills as well.

Repertoire:

• Thank you for programming the Bach Mass in b minor. I would go anywhere to sing his works with a master teacher such as David Hill.
• I was wildly excited to sing the B Minor Mass at Ogontz under David Hill—“the greatest piece of music ever written.”
• One of the great choral masterworks taught by an expert with love, kindness, and humor!

Hospitality:

• Ogontz is a warm and welcoming place and I felt that instantly.
• David Kent will always go way out of his way to satisfy one’s needs.
• I feel very welcome and the management is top notch and personable.

What was your favorite part of your week at Ogontz?

• Singing of course. Paula’s warmups are always great as well as David’s sessions.
• Singing and singing, swimming, walking in the woods and exploring the grounds.
• Being together again with old friends. Making new friends. Young people. And of course the music!
• Singing so much, seeing the participants enjoying the Ogontz experience. – even in the rain. and of course looking at Lake Ogontz.

Also:

• Very grateful for this experience. During covid I thought my voice was failing and that singing was going to be a thing of the past. I feel fed and revived.
• Thank you ALL for this extraordinary experience. And thank you for being so receptive to all the new folks!
• Kudos and many thanks to all who made the week such an exceptional experience for us.
