"I have never before been treated with such kindness and generosity in a setting like that.  The hotel was wonderful, the facilities at UT were amazing, and the pianists were truly incredible.  I was completely at ease the entire time having nothing to worry about except my own performance.  I'm so glad to have been able to compete with such a talented group of singers." Matthew Newlin, Tenor, Finaliste GCC 2010
