Solo performances have brought her to the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, La Monnaie in Brussels, the Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and the Musikverein in Graz. She is regularly invited to take part in Europe’s most important music festivals such as Festival Oudemusiek Utrecht, Festival Saintes, Resonanzen, the Berliner Festspiele, Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik, Ravenna Festival, and many others. She has collaborated with Tasto Solo, Mala Punica, Collegium 1704, L’Arpeggiata, the Freiburger Barockerchester, Doulce Memoire, Sollazzo Ensemble, Ton Koopman & the Amsterdam Baroque Soloists, and Björn Schmelzer and graindelavoix, with whom she has recorded many records on the Glossa label. She is passionate about cultivating curiosity and love for medieval and renaissance repertoires in young professionals, and has given masterclasses at the Fondation Royaumont and developed and taught courses at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. She is director and founder of the Fine Hand, a collective dedicated to the exchange of historical musical repertoires between Europe and North America.
