We came to the festival with many doubts, especially as we were visiting India from China for the first time. But from the moment we arrived, all our concerns disappeared. Congratulations to the entire DIEFF team for organizing such a wonderful festival! Today, I had the opportunity to meet the Indian Consular, and I proudly told him how much our choir loved our experience in India.

We all were very impressed by IEFF-India-2015, everyone enjoyed meeting so many lovely Indian people, particularly everyone from your organization who brought us around town and who we worked with on the performances. The tours were also delightful, I can’t believe we saw the Taj Mahal and so much more of your country. Again, I thank you very much for inviting us to the festival. Good luck in the future.
