    Aside from her vocal talent, Renée has perfected the art of infectious communication, and is utterly charming too.

    I was delighted to read this happy news: a welcome change from reading obituaries!

    We don’t need to “nurture young voices”, conservatories, grants, competitions do that. What singers need are JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!
