“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"
Kim Nazarian,
Judge at Aarhus Vocal Festival (2022)
“The singers clearly enjoyed singing together
and wanted to bring joy to the listeners with
their singing. The singers have beautiful voices
and amazing voice control, and they had the
music in their bodies.
Their stage presence was interesting and clear”

Judges at Tampere Vocal Music Festival (2023)
“Arrangemangen är välgjorda och många gånger spännande, kanske även modiga i förhållande till den vokaltradition som odlats...
...Avslutningsspåret är ett exempel med den skotska Auld lang syne i grunden och ett snyggt arrangemang av Filippa Westerberg”
Bengt Wittgren,
Hembygden, nr 2 (2023)
“Samarbejdet med Filippa Westerberg er frugtbart og lover godt for fremtidigt kunstnerisk virke. Ida, Filippa og de to medvirkende dansere er eksempelvis meget virtuose i de recitativiske dele af værket "To kvinner i verden/Två kvinnor i världen."
