“Working with BYC and conductor Mat Wright reminded me of the importance of choral music in all our lives. This choir has the ability to make us feel. They sing with such passion, honesty and above all integrity. It is evident that they love to perform and in so doing, captivate their audience, taking them on an extraordinary journey”
