“I am so excited by Dowland Youth Works; congratulations to Laurence and Sam for their inspiring groundwork, and to the Dawsons and their friends for their continued enthusiasm and ever more effective performances! It is a joy to see a new generation of singers take this magical music to their hearts; thanks and all power to everyone involved!”

“It was a great privilege to be part of Dowland Works from its inception. Again and again, I saw young singers inspired and greatly enlivened by the opportunity to work with Emma Kirkby, who gives so generously of her expertise. Again and again, I had the chance to observe the dramatic improvements in their singing. It has also been a joy for me personally to work with the talented young lutenists on the project, and to offer them what help I can. Long may the project continue and prosper!”
