As a recitalist she has played throughout Europe and in the USA, Australia and Mexico. She has also worked as accompanist and continuo player with groups such as the BBC Singers and The Sixteen, acted as a jury member for international competitions and taught at international summer academies such as that held at Haarlem. Her critically acclaimed recordings include the organ works of Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns and Stanley, and her CDs of Bach’s ‘Eighteen’, ‘Schübler’ Chorales and the Canonic Variations received 5-star reviews in Goldberg Magazine and Choir & Organ.
