Dori played during the drinks reception at our wedding. Her communication before the event was fantastic, the music was great & we received several compliments about it. I am only sad that the time whizzed past and I didn’t get to say a proper hello on the day!

Dori's playing in Vivaldi's The Four Seasons was brilliant!

Dorottya Horvath played an absolutely amazing Rachmaninoff sonata with Dominic Irving. There was power, passion and a great deal of poise from the stunning cellist Dori whilst playing the challenging and very technical Sonata in G minor. Dominic accompanied with precision and added a touch of playfulness on the piano. It was a very enjoyable evening listing to the two who helped lift the spirits for those listening online during the lockdown. She was a truly incredible performer.
