"Irene Serra's vocals, whether soaring through the hall or sung with
perfect restraint, were always delicately elegant and were the perfect
ingredient for a very successful evening..."
Benito Fiore, President of the
Academy of Italian Cuisine (Gala dinner with the Italian Ambassador, The
Dorchester Hotel, London).
"Both the vocals and the music were exquisite and carefully planned to
please all our diverse range of clients. Both the lighter swinging tunes and
the powerful ballads were meticulously balanced and really helped create a
wonderful mood. What a great way to celebrate the festive season....."
