Judy Rafat has sung to the enthusiastic reception of discerning audiences in the world's best hotels. Especially noteworthy:
her long engagements in China in
1999 and 2000, where she dazzled audiences in six month engagements in both the Ritz-Carlton Hotel
in Shanghai - e.g. with
Wynton Marsalis - and "The Big Easy" in Peking. In the same year,
1999, Judy was approached
by the German Ministry for the Environment with a request to produce a special CD for the initiative "Women and Agenda 21". She
gladly accepted, composing the title-song, "
women of the world", and several other pieces of her own. The success of this
CD further underscored her great versatility.
