Noël Wan / harpist

“What I love about your performance is how you did with the individual note. You didn’t just pluck and be done with it. You thought about each individual string when you played it. That makes a very special sound….I was very impressed….lots lots of musical phrases there. All the scale rythms are like your phrases, Your techniques are so very very solid, very musical performance, lots lots of dynamic contrast, and such nice music… you certainly deserve a lot of accolade. Your work hard, plus the fact that you got a lot of natural talents to go with it.” (May, 2005, Judy Loman, harp professor of the Curtis Institute, USA/Canada)
