Concerts with Anneke are always a musical adventure!” (Andrew Manze). “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”. (Pavlo Beznosiuk).
