“I was totally impressed with the sound of their opener - so much so, that I had to check with the technician to make sure there was no harmonizer, looper, or playback in their performance. I am proud of such a strong FEMALE ensemble"

About HØST
Judge at Aarhus Vocal Festival (2022)
“I arrangemangen hörs varje stämmas fina kvaliteter som smälter samman i en klangrik helhet. Ett gripande exempel på detta är den ljuvligt förtroliga och berörande visan "Ack om ditt blod", där Filippa Westerberg tonsatt och arrangerat sin mormors gamla kärleksdikt till morfadern."
