PERFORMING "[Kantos Chamber Choir's] tone quality and tuning are remarkable, exemplifying the best mixed choir singing likely to be heard anywhere." Robert Beale - The Arts Desk - Hearing Voices concert - 'Imagination and Star Quality' "Kantos gave gleamingly polished accounts of two short choral works with strings." Andrew Clements - The Guardian - Hearing Voices concert "Frankly, the 'Agnus Dei' was a real highlight of the whole evening." "[Francis Pott's 'Nigra sum sed formosa'] has some beguiling textures...solo voices soar out of and over the main choir and special praise is due for principal soloist, Lindsey James." John Quinn - Music Web International - 'In Memoriam' disc dedicated to D. Trendell "I’ve never seen or heard a Dido chorus that changed character so effectively between one scene and the next, both physically and vocally – their transformation from courtiers to members of a witches’ coven to sailors and their molls...seemed almost magical." "The music-making here was uniformly high class...The Chorus was consistently forthright, its members taking on solo cameos confidently." Martin Dreyer - York Press - Dido & Aeneas at the Ryedale Festival |

Vera - parent (cello) "A committed teacher, Lindsey comes to her classes thoroughly prepared. She is very attentive to my needs and has accurately identified several of my vocal issues. Not only has she provided me with effective solutions in a short amount of time and in a fun and imaginative way, but she has also encouraged and inspired me to be more musical and expressive with my voice." "Excellent teacher - reliable, friendly, and capable. Excellent lessons - interesting, clear explanations, rich experiences. My son enjoys his theory lessons very much."
