“I've had 'Curoo Curoo' on the brain all
weekend - it's a wonderful setting and the New Dublin Voices sang it
beautifully! Elaine is such a remarkable composer - she has that
incredible ability of writing challenging and sophisticated, but
approachable and rewarding, music for kids. I don't think I've come
across another composer that can do it quite like that probably since
Britten!”
