“Featuring throughout were some outstanding solo eye and ear-catching contributions from a great number of them: notably violinist Walker as mentioned before, as well as Archie Morton (oboe), Daisy Noton (flute) and Eliza Talman (trumpet).”

“Daisy is an exceptional musician in many ways, one that possesses not only immense talent and professionalism but also great sensitivity and musicality. A seriously hard worker as well as a delightful, safe, and reliable performer, she is a dream to work with.” 

Polo Piatti – Composer

“You are a really lovely assured musical player. Consistently natural phrasing which is a real pleasure to listen to, and an engaging stage manner; you have an ability to really hold the space which is a rare thing.” 

Piers Adams – BBC Young Musician Woodwind Final

“Both [Lauren Zhang’s and Daisy Noton’s] performances were absolutely first class, both soloists projected a real authority to the audience, totally calm and in control.”

“Although Mozart famously hated the flute, I’m sure if he had heard Daisy Noton’s performance of K 313, he would have written a dozen more flute concerti. The home crowd justifiably went wild.”
