Music-review Ukraine
Гаряча канадіїйка, разом з Академічною хоровою капелою та оркестром Українського радіо, виконала авторські пісні та фортепіанні твори, відомий світовий хіт «O holly night» та заспівала «Щедрика» М. Леонтовича в аранжування для оркестру В.Стапурка. Такого екзотичного виконання на сцені Будинку звукозапису Українського радіо та й України в цілому ще не було.
