"Beth is a first class musician who can blend the rigour of professional music making with the joyous spontaneity and camaraderie of a getting-together among friends. I have always enjoyed working with Beth at the Wexford Festival Orchestra: she has a natural understanding for nuances and colour, and while leading with a firm hand (or bow!) the viola section, she has the keen ear and the understanding of a collaborative and consumed chamber music player".
— Francesco Cilluffo, Principal Guest Conductor of the Wexford Festival Opera
