Quotes from Musicians
"My first experience of Julia’s playing was a performance of Winter from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons when she was eight years old. It was clear from the outset that this was a prodigious talent. I have followed her subsequent development with great interest. She has, even at the tender age of 11, matured into a performer of élan. She has a tremendous work ethic, but never sounds in any way robotic or “over-schooled”. Indeed, to the contrary, she already plays with an unfettered flair and individuality.
Whilst it is self-evident that Julia has a wonderful technique, it was her performance of the Violin Sonata by César Frank at St George’s, Brandon Hill in February of 2008, which proved her to possess a musical maturity far beyond her years.
In short, Julia is something of a phenomenon"
Martin Pring, composer and conductor, Chamber Orchestra of Wales, Associate Conductor European Festival Orchestra
"Julia is a marvel. She stunned orchestra and audience alike with her flawless Mozart and even had energy to spare for an encore. Tremendous!"
Andrew Morley, Conductor St. Paul's Sinfonia, London
'Julia played Mozart's third violin concerto with a brilliance, poise and warmth that was truly remarkable for one so young. Her charming, relaxed attitude to the whole process of rehearsing and performing with experienced musicians was spot on, and the orchestra is already greatly looking forward to her next visit.'
'Samuel Burstin, Violist, Philharmonia Orchestra of London and Joint Principal Viola Opera North'
"'It is very rare for any examiner to witness such remarkable talent in one so young... I wish you luck' ."
Julia's Grade 8 examiner, The Trinity Board of Examinations

Last night's concert with the very talented Dorking Chamber Orchestra was a wonderful experience for Janet and me.
The Guarnerius must have had many virtuosi players over the centuries, but now we have a virtuosa to match any of them. Julia, you made it sing in a way that was astonishing and, at times, deeply moving. Mozart would have been grateful to you. We also thought that your co-soloist was outstanding. Have you played with him before ? ... It seemed like an instinctive partnership.
We shall never forget the evening, and I shall treasure the CD with your kind inscription.
Here are some of the photos I took ... I will send shots of the orchestra separately.
I will then put them all on to CD ... so if, Eun-Young and John Weiss, you could email me your home addresses, I will post one to each of you.
With all best wishes from us both for your future, Julia and thanks for giving us such a wonderful memory, Murray.
