Debbie is very excited to be travelling to Vancouver with the Mendelssohn Choir in order to perform in the "Cultural Olympics". She'll be adding her voice to the first soprano section, and will undoubtedly be powerfully moved by this massive work by Mahler. "I've never been able to get through the final three pages of this great symphony without puddles of tears clouding my reading glasses", she states.

Debbie is looking forward to this concert, as these two works are so
beautiful to sing and to listen to. She's hoping some of her west
