In December 2014, Ingrid Sertso, internationally renown vocalist and a long-time Woodstock resident, fell and went into hospital for a brief stay. Unknown to her and her doctors, she became very ill with the MRSA virus and was in hospital until April, followed by a stay in a rehabilitation facility. She is well on the road to recovery, performing and composing, and teaching at Creative Music Studio workshops.
