“Thanks to you and your magnificent part in last week’s performance of the Messiah, I know – again – that my Redeemer liveth. The passion and the power that flowed in you and through you as you sang, touched something very deep within me and re-anchored my life to the place, and to the person with whom it needs to be. I am deeply grateful.”
— Rev. David Jones
“I just listened to Peggo’s voice in my Symphony No. 4 … War and Peace, and was marveling at how beautiful and magnificent she sounded in that very challenging work!!! It was just so transcendent and moving – the way she placed each phrase, effortlessly connected the melodic leaps and sailed through the sustained notes. No one sings my music better than Peggo. Her intonation is impeccable. She sings from the heart. Peggo is every composer’s dream chanteuse!”
— Thomas Oboe Lee, composer
