"I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the Ensemble for coming and playing yesterday. So many people, including ourselves, appreciated listening to you play but also the way in which you all integrated into the spirit of the occasion."

"Dear Anne, Thank you so much for organising a splendid orchestra for me on Saturday night. Thank you also for your dedication to the music. It is always a pleasure to work with you. You are such an asset to the community! The orchestral players are such a nice bunch of people to work with and it is great to have many of the same players back over and over again. As usual it was a great pleasure to work with you. Thank you for bringing the Cherubini to life for us. The orchestral colour adds so much to what is a rarely performed work and you did it superbly. We were very privileged to have such a talented pianist for the Tchaikovsky Concerto, which I know is also a challenge for the orchestra to play, especially with only an hour and a quarter to rehearse it! - But we did it and the audience were thrilled - the standing ovation was testament to that. As ever it was a pleasure to work with you all. All the best. "

"May I say a huge thank you to you all for being a part of our wedding day on 07/05/11 it was the most perfect day, made more amazing by your wonderful music from the church to the reception. Thank you very much for your time and personally, thank you for playing the Topgun theme that was a lovely surprise for my husband! We had soo many people comment on how lovely the string quartet was and what beautiful music you played. All your time, hard work and effort was all very much appreciated and I would highly recommend you to others. Thank you very much you helped make our day just fantastic. "

"We just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the Trio for creating a wonderful atmosphere on a lovely day at our wedding, everybody said how perfectly the trio fitted with the Hall and the whole ceremony. I didn't get to spend enough time listening and enjoying as we were whisked away for photos, you know what its like! But they were beautiful. Thank you and best wishes"

"Dear Anne I think it was one of the most enjoyable concerts I can remember. Your orchestra is always good, which is why we've encouraged Patrick to book you and let you choose the players. We are certain to ask for your help in the future. At least 2 of our 4 MD candidates know you! I think the choir did especially well, partly raising its game for Patrick but also because the music was fairly straight forward, we felt confident and performed rather than just sang! Sarah Ann was a delight and our experiment using Conservatoire soloists is proving successful. Best wishes Alistair  "

" I want to say a huge thanks to everyone in the orchestra, and particularly to you for being so supportive and sharing your experience and expertise on what has felt like a huge personal journey for me with Gerontius. The most difficult thing about delivering the piece is in managing the demands Elgar makes whilst always being present in the moment and understanding the purpose. It is a truly unique piece of music and I could not have wished for a more wonderful and confident group of players. They brought fierce resilience, skill, kindness and understanding, and a huge range of expression making anything possible. Best of all, it felt like we were all working as one team.  "

"Koniger Quartet played at my mother's 90th birthday party. It was wonderful. Their performance was perfect, and the delighted look on my mother's face (she is blind) as they played her favourite tunes said it all. All of the guests thought they were great. I cannot recommend them highly enough. "

"I’m so sorry I didn’t get to speak to you on Thursday to say thank you for the wonderful music (on 8th October 2015 at Lothian Chambers, Edinburgh) , both Martin and I were caught up in the whirlwind of emotions! Thank you so much, it really made the atmosphere so special and I know our guests enjoyed hearing you play. In particular your version of ‘One Day Like This’ was amazing."
