​"Kristan Toczko, a Canadian harpist, was praised by the gaming community after Reddit went wild for her rendition of the Halo video game’s theme song."

​"The harp part [of the Five Canticles of Benjamin Britten], as was customary for Britten, was written for Osian Ellis, and here executed by Toczko with the broad variety of tone needed to create a coherent depiction of the most complicated symbolic poem in the entire set."
​"The evening was entitled The Gracious Harp and indeed harpist Kristan Toczko was central to everything excellent in this evening's performance. Her accompaniment to Leungen’s O Magnum Mysterium was truly remarkable and her own shining solo moment, Meditation from Jules Massenet's Opera Thaïs, kept the entire house in a state of suspended bliss from the first note."

​“Kristan wowed the audience with a scintillating and confident performance of Michael Conway Baker's Harp Concerto at the 11th World Harp Congress in Vancouver, having had only six weeks to learn it and memorize it! She is a really engaging performer whose obvious love for music shines through to the audience.”
