FEEDBACK FROM PARTICIPANTS
The Festival was simply one of the most uplifting and fulfilling experiences that I have ever had. ~ Moira D.
What an exhilarating experience this was. Just wanted to thank the both of you for the humble easy going and unifying approach you both brought with you. It was phenomenal. ~ Azita S.
As a participant, it was an awe-inspiring experience for me and while I am exhausted from the weekend, I am as high as a kite. I am on a spiritual high and I have a renewed “spring in my step” and it’s because of being immersed in singing these sacred verses in divine and inspired melodies for 4 days, so thank you! ~ Sima R.
I am still singing wherever I am. This was the most beautiful choir I have ever seen and been part of. It was an absolute honour to work with so many of you specially great conductors from different parts of the world and in such a spiritual environment. ~ Farshid S.
I cannot express my feeling of gratitude and thanksgiving for your initiation of the first Australian Choral Festival. I was always longing to sing in the Australia Temple; as when I was a youth singing in the Samoan Temple, it was singing and giving it all to His praise. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this amazing journey. God willing, I will look forward to the next one. "Close your eyes to racial differences..." I sing it everywhere, such a beautiful tune. ~ Nese M. S.

O nightingale of the rose-garden of God!
Singing melodies will bring animation and happiness to the world of humanity,
the hearers will be delighted and joyful and their deeper emotions stirred.
But this gladness, this sense of emotion is transitory and will be forgotten within a short time.
However, praise be to God, thou hast blended thy tunes with the melodies of the Kingdom,
wilt impart solace to the world of the spirit and wilt everlastingly stimulate spiritual feelings.
This will last forever and endure the revolution of ages and centuries.
~ `Abdu'l-Bahá
