As a recitalist she participates in the Associació Franz Schubert’s mentoring programme Lied the Future and has performed with piano accompanists Olivia Zaugg and Victoria Guerrero in Switzerland and in Spain. She has been selected as a ‘Rising Star’ by the European Concert Hall Organisation for the 2026/27 season, and will perform in Europe’s most prestigious concert halls.

As a soloist she has appeared in repertory including Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s Magnificat and Passions, Vivaldi’s Gloria, Mozart’s Mass in C minor and Requiem, Fauré’s Requiem and Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem. Her operatic repertory includes Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, Cimarosa’s Il convito, and the roles of Fiordiligi in Mozart’s Così fan tutte and Clorinda in Rossini’s La Cenerentola.
