She is leader of Ensemble Esperanza Liechtenstein. Her recordings have been numerously rewarded. Thus, her first solo CD ‘In Time’ received the Diapason Découverte ; ‘L’Ange et le Diable’, a duo-CD with Jos van Immerseel as well as a recording of Mendelssohn Concerto were awarded at the ICMA 2018/19.
