Book Joanna

SINGER

“A stunningly flexible voice, flawless musicianship and, as if that wasn't enough, a lovely personality too!“ Will Todd, composer of Mass in Blue

“Joanna is a joy to work with - instant sight reading, spot on tuning and wonderfully versatile. She sounds great too!” Andrew Sunnucks, founder and Managing Director of Audio Network

“Beautifully performed, produced, interpreted and arranged and (unsurprisingly) utterly musical at every turn. Joanna's voice is stunning." Howard Goodall CBE, composer & broadcaster

COMPOSER

King's College Service "Melodious, uplifting and accessible" Ben Parry, choirmaster of King's Voices, King's College Cambridge

 

"Thank you for writing such ‘singable’ music of just the right standard, so that it is challenging without it being impossible for a small church choir to perform." Christine Walker, organist for Bisley and West End parish choir, Surrey

 

“The St Helen’s Service by Joanna Forbes L'Estrange is a joy to learn and sing. Her fresh setting has catchy melodies which the congregation love and she has managed the rare feat of combining this with a 4-part harmony which the choir greatly enjoy.” Rob Milner, director of the parish church choir of St Helen's, Wheathampstead

"Give us grace is a wonderful piece that I believe will be treasured by choirs young and old across the world." Patrick Craig, founder and conductor of Aurora Nova

CHORAL LEADER

"Joanna's experience and enthusiasm for choral jazz arrangements was infectious and quickly transformed the singers from choir stalls to the stage". Stephen Layton, Director of Music, Trinity College Cambridge

"In a matter of moments, we were transformed from a singing ensemble attempting to swing to a jazz ensemble who happened to sing". Owain Park, composer
