„Occasionally something quite spectacular pops up from our local musical talent pool. Such was the case on the September 26th when Kasiana appeared on the Life Long Learning program at Northern Essex Community College. The vocal artistry of Kasia Sokalla stunned with musical delights across a wide spectrum. Her musical instincts were spot on and made my job as her accompanist pure pleasure. I was delighted to collaborate with her. Music lovers should now be on notice to watch for her upcoming performances.”
