-Margaret Lehmann AM
“Celia shows a special flair for choosing not only repertoire but (perhaps especially) the musicians with whom she plays. She has a knack for finding those colleagues who not only are technically perfect – something that we take almost for granted nowadays – but who like herself can reach down to the essence of the music they are playing….”
– Anthony Steel, AM, former Artistic Director, Adelaide Festival, World Expo, Singapore Arts Festival
“Her energy and commitment to developing, commissioning, and performing new works makes her a composers’ dream- she is the type of person all living composers desire to work with, as we know that our music is in the safest of hands”
– Anne Cawrse, composer
