“I have known Betsy for almost 20 years, and have seen her in a variety of roles, including: group leader, performer, friend, business woman, choir leader and others.
Betsy’s joyful acceptance of everyone she meets brings out the best in everyone around her. As a choir leader, her deep knowledge and understanding of music, singing, and voice work, combined with an ability to intensely focus in a relaxed manner on the task at hand, calls forth the best efforts of those she works with. Her own beautiful voice easily demonstrates what she is wanting from the various members of the choir. The result is usually a delicately crafted, harmonious and emotionally satisfying choral work.”
