Testimonials

“Augustina is actively involved in teaching conducting herself and in 2021 she was invited by the International Portoheli Festival to found the Orchestral Conducting Masterclass and teach undergraduates from the Tampa University USA as well as students from around the world.
She is honoured to have received a special invitation by Dr Michael Beckerman, Chairman of the Music department at New York University to give presentations on Conducting and Performance Practice to graduates at New York University in Manhattan USA.
More recently, she has been invited by Marin Alsop, Sian Edwards and Jukka-Pekka Saraste to be part of conducting masterclasses organised variously by the Southbank Centre, Royal Philharmonic Society and the University of St Andrews, Scotland.”

“Tango for few’’ by Augustina Kapoti was distinctly a non danceable tango full of japes and jokes, especially in pizzicato, that was as charming as it was strikingly original.”

“Augustina returned with a short Violin and Harp piece based upon a poem ‘’The age of blue memory’’ by the Nobel Laureate Odysseus Elytis. Here images of the sea, horizon, and shells swirled amid strings. Thus was an accomplished parlor room piece that could be played anywhere to acclaim.”

“I have come to the conclusion that Ms. Kapoti is an extraordinary talent with a distinctive and impressive approach. She is that rare talent who combines action and reflection in perfect balance. She is simultaneously rock solid and lighter than air, and one can tell that the musicians she works with recognize this special talent. She is a force to be reckoned with and is a conductor with a marvelous future.”
