Aida Swenson "The choir enjoyed so much sharing Indonesia with the so warm and appreciative Festival 500 audience. The Batak shawl wraps you with love and good wishes. Festival 500 and you will always be remembered"

Mark Anthony Carpio "I'm so grateful to have been part of Festival 500. In just a couple of days I've learned so much that will keep my mind busy in the next few weeks maybe. It's always a great experience to be surrounded by people who care for the same things...and make new friends. Thank you to all the people who have made this possible."

Susan Smythe "This was my first Festival 500....I hope it's not the last! Had an incredible time hearing some wonderful music, workshopping with Bob Chilcott and Rajaton, having the opportunity to work under the direction of Fred Sjoberg, and being part of the fantastic Closing Concert at Mile One Stadium. Thanks to all who made it possible...please keep letting us share our voices! Newfoundland is a beautiful part of Canada, both in scenery and people."

Marian Dolan "Choral friends: if you have not yet attended Festival 500 Sharing The Voices, put it on your "must do" list!! This Festival and Symposium are simply extraordinary. The quality and level of musicianship in workshops and concerts is incredible, and the sense of community and collaboration is a model for all of us in the choral field. *Huge* thank-you to all of the organizers!!"

Vocado "After an amazing week in St. John's, at Festival 500, with truly life changing experiences and meetings, we are filled with such joy and inspiration!"

Scott Leithead "You have really outdone yourself on these pictures! Thanks for ALL of the great pics throughout the festival!"
