Anne-Marie Blink - Stichting Andere Klank,the Netherlands

To Judie Christie and/or Richard Cough,

Many years ago I met in Wales the CPR. Being a Dutch professional singer and teacher, I was surprised by the wideness of their knowledge and their professionalism about voice, not only the Western voice but voice qualities from all over the world.

Complete unique in the voicework is a library where you find a documentation of all the material which appeared in history. Extremely well documented and visited by many people, I think it is about time to realise which treasure you have in Aberystwyth.

I consider it an incredible, huge, worldwide mistake to stop the funding to CPR. It is impossible to expect from such organisation to compete with other cultural organisations, because of their worldwide character.

Looking to the program of the Voices Festival, you can imagine how important it is to be sure of a certain stream of money. Beside this, Wales can even use their University more, knowing that a so unique centre is situated there.

SUPPORT THIS WONDERFUL STRUCTURE !!!!
