Concerts with Anneke are always a musical adventure!\"\nAndrew Manze.\n\n\"In Anneke Scott we have a \"natural\" horn player in more ways than one. On an instrument which is perilous at the best of times her technique is such that one is aware only of intellect, musicianship and a glorious pallet of sound\".\nPavlo Beznosiuk.\n\nFor more information please visit: www.annekescott.com.\n\nKathryn Cok pursues a varied career as a harpsichordist, fortepianist and academic on both sides of the Atlantic.
