«Thank you again for designing such a compelling interpretation of the music. As I have been rehearsing the choreography over the past week, I am increasingly grateful for your brilliance in putting this together. The movements are so powerfully effective, easy to teach and execute while singing, and (best of all for me!) give the singers gestures in which they have space for interpretation and personal involvement. It's truly superb and has made me see new possibilities in the music that I hadn't imagined while writing it - bravo!»

«The Gospel Night at the Minster is an impressive experience. The Oyenga Choir makes the music visible. The creative choreographies wonderfully enhance the singing, and the transitions between the pieces are remarkably diverse.»

Dance Teacher, Basel

«It was a true pleasure and blessing meeting you all! Your performance was outstanding and the singers' commitment to choreographies was something I've never seen before, particularly when performed by young males. I wish the finnish boys' choir conductors had seen it - or actually I wish every choral conductor everywhere should see it! There is something deeply touching in what you're doing and as an educator I couldn't respect you more for your pure-hearted educational vision.»
