Kassia Women's Choir

Had such a blast last night- it was soooo amazing when everyone got up to dance!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!

You guys rocked last night! When it was all done, the first comment I heard from audience members around me was "That was fun!" and the first comment I heard from choir members outside the stage door was "That was fun!" and it was...the choir sounded great and looked fantastic. Have some more fun tonight!

Thanks again for Disco Divas - it was great fun! A friend of mine told me on Friday that a girlfriend of hers had been on Thursday night and loved it. This woman took her husband along too - he went very reluctantly and was sure he'd be bored, but he absolutely loved it too and can't wait for the next concert!

Girls, girls, girls. Just HAD to drop you a line while I'm still buzzing from the concert. Completely FABEROO!! Well done. Just BRILLIANT!! Loved it loved it loved it! ML & I had sore hands we were clapping so hard. Really annoyed I can't come to BOTH nights quite frankly. You know, the wonderful thing about Kassia concerts is that you always come out on a real high & with a big grin :O) CONGRATS guys. Really fab.

Hope you had as much fun as we all did last night. What an amazing audience - wouldn't it be fantastic if this evening's audience starts to bop along too?

"What a great night we had. It was so good in fact we are tempted to come back and see the show again tonight!"

Just got home after diva-ing. Excellent night! Thanks for taking us ordinary folks and turning us into singers! Not many could do it! Love your choice in music!

Firstly - WOW! I'm still buzzing - hardly slept a wink - I quickly want to say that yes, we were amazing and you tell us we were amazing and our fans tell us we were amazing, but I hope people don't lose sight of the fact that it was the SHOW that was amazing and that includes the band, lighting, sound and costumes, all of which you and Celia work hard to put together - so thank you to both of you for making it so amazing.

All of my friends (almost 20 came!) say they had such a great time. Even my hairdressers had been to see it and said what a smashing time it was and were giving out fliers!!! :) And again, thanks for letting me join your fabulous choir! I'm SO glad I did!

Just a quick note to say how much I've enjoyed being part of Disco Divas; last night's concert was an amazing experience! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to Kassia, it's great to be part of a choir that's so much fun, yet aims to be really professional too. Have a fabulous weekend (I hope your head isn't feeling as bad as mine is today!!)

Bethan, thanks again for the experience. It has been wonderful on so many levels, one being the women I have met. Fabulous women.

Congrats on last night. I sometimes wonder how you cope with us lot. I really enjoyed it and so did all our guests. They can't wait for the next one.

Wanted to forward my congratulations to you on an excellent show on Friday night. Your concert made a great feel good night and everyone couldn't help but get involved. Looks like the girls all had a great time doing it too. Disco Divas had a wonderful casual approach and felt many girls could play along with the show. We're from the U.S and leaving on Sunday, and the show was a great night for us. Very impressed with the Respect soloist and everyone's favourite the Flash Dance lady, great stage presence!
Keep up the great work!

I'm sure by now you will have been flooded with gorgeous congrats and fluffiness's!!! I so enjoyed the Disco Divas. So feel good, so upbeat and I felt overwhelmed by the fabulousness of women. So many shapes and sizes and smiles and shades. So very professional in all it's aspects, well done with very big bells on!!!

Congratulations… that was the best ever… absolutely stunning.

Congrats - best concert so far!!! Loved it last night - could have kept singing all night!!

Great show last night - we loved it! So pleased we eventually managed to make one.

The accompanying musicans were excellent. well done!

K.K

Congratulations on the Kassia concert. We thought it was great fun - and very good singing of course. All the singers really seemed to be enjoying themselves. And it's great that you got a full house - better book the Cultural Centre next time!
T.L

As for Friday... What can I say? I couldn't believe how quickly it flew and then all I could think was "do you think they enjoyed it...?" Well, Friday night in Wanchai was awesome - we had non-stop praise from no end of people - even strangers in the ladies' loo and the like who recognised me from the performance. EVERYONE absolutely raved about it - people said that they expected it to be quite good but they ALL said "I didn't expect it to be so professional" and "I didn't expect to enjoy it quite as much as I did" - it was such a major ego boost listening to their comments. One guy who we know is quite a burly Ozzie big-drinker type who told me that he was moved to tears it was SO good...! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Bethan - it was just BRILLIANT. So looking forward to the next one...
T.S

I really miss the choir and the songs and the vision of the concert still goes around my mind all the time last week travelling in Canada. Thanks for such a great experience.
I.N

I just wanted to say thank you so much for Friday, Matt and I had a fab night and thought the show was superb! Let me know of anything else you are up to, as I'd love to see more! Brilliant!
S.H

I have been meaning to write and say thank you for setting up Kassia. Your creativity, sense of humour, patience and ability to keep us all in check is pretty amazing. I have so enjoyed being a part of that. The opportunity to forget everything else and enjoy working at something completely different, particularly singing, has been fantastic.
C.B

I saw your performance the other night and it was just great!
R.K

Thanks very much again for organizing the wonderful concert on June 13. Really had a great time.
P.L

Bethan, by the way, I really think your idea about this secular women's choir is great! And feedback from them on you is very positive. Keep it up. It's really one hell of a job you're doing out there and I can only congratulate you. More power!

Workshops with Bethan Greaves

YWCA 'Music Theory for Beginners' classes:
Bethan is one on her own and the music class was great. Her delivery makes the class fun and very informative. It's rare to get such an expert to teach on such a course. We all loved the singing circle. Shame it's over now but I'll definitely rejoin both next term.

I loved the course. The content was perfect… My expectations were far exceeded in that it was such an enjoyable class. The instructor is one of the best I have ever had. She was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic of her subject (and in general), helpful, well prepared and funny. I would definitely attend other classes with her…. I look forward to pursuing music with Bethan and using her teachings to learn piano a bit later. It was a good course.

Very informative and interesting. It was a good combination of theory and interesting anecdotes about how music and musicians work. It all makes a lot more sense now. Looking forward to a follow on course next term! The course was very helpful and enjoyable and I would like to continue to the next level.

L'Oreal 'Conducting As A Way of Leading' workshop:
Useful seminar, personally, I like the creative session (singing activity) very much, it's useful and good demonstration for "leadership styles" learning, thanks!

Singing activity: very striking and clear illustration of how a good manager needs to be Group discussion is great. For games, don't really know how the game, singing, related to the "leadership and assertive" at the beginning. However, it lets me have a good insight. "What's my conducting method?"

Choir master session is excellent, very impressive.

The activities (inc. singing) are all very inspirational. The trainers are able to capture very small details to elaborate some crucial point that we've been missing or ignored.

It is very good, very inspired, especially the choir activity.

Discussions and games were both very helpful, they are more impressive than just talking.

Very interesting and through the exercise it is more easier to understand the "strategy" of different topics - the way it delivered is interesting and exciting - singing, painting and playing games - lots of insights!

Games are wonderful especially the Choir master part make me understand more about assertiveness and leadership.

Games (Choir and painting) are fun and provocative; help understand the principles at leadership/ managerial role etc very well.

The Choir arrangement is new and interesting.

Very good, especially the thoughtful singer activity, it was very powerful.
