WHAT PEOPLE SAY

—

Dr. Horst Buchholz,

Director of Sacred Music,

Cathedral Basilica and Archdiocese of St. Louis

"I have known Angela for many years through the Church Music Association of America and was very pleased when she gave a chant workshop for the Archdiocese of St. Louis a number of years ago under the umbrella of our Music Sacra conferences.

"For the past few years she has also been a very solid section leader for the Cathedral Choir and Schola, and a superb cantor for Cathedral and Archdiocesan liturgies.

"Additionally she has done outstanding work preparing and leading the Gregorian chant at the Cathedral Basilica when I was away. Angela truly knows and loves that repertoire, and it shows."
