"A splendid recital [...] what a talent! The enormous technical challenges of Ligeti's furious moto perpetuo Capriccio from his Sonata for solo cello were carried off with great aplomb. Her maturity was shown in an intensely moving extract from Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time."

"Live performance is all about the moment where somebody starts crying and you will never know why, but you've enacted a response in them that will change them forever. It's about speaking to people afterwards who have attended your concert and being able to unpick their story and why they attended in the first place. It's a pleasure and a privilege to interpret a composer's hieroglyphics, to bring them to life and to really convey them to people."

"With my young eyes, I would marvel at the collective emotional metamorphosis of an audience who entered the concert hall engrossed in their busy lives, and emerged from the hall touched, challenged, or inspired; to me, music was always a noble and powerful profession."

"Of course, all orchestral playing is really large-scale chamber music [...] and it’s just such a joy. It’s almost meditative how much focus you can bring when you are really curious about what other sounds are going on around you. "

"When I do have some pre-performance jitters, I like to think about the fact that we, as musicians, decorate time. Visual artists decorate space, but we decorate time. Time’s always ticking, and it’s not something that you can go back and re-polish and do whatever like a visual artist and drive yourself insane. When it’s done, it’s done, and you leave, and you take your make-up off and you don’t worry about it ever again."
