She shows a special commitment to chamber music, collaborating with musicians such as Philippe Bernold, Henri Demarquette, Magali Mosnier and the conductor and oboist François Leleux, with whom she had the pleasure of performing Mozart’s famous Concerto for Flute and Harp. She builds her solo repertoire from works of the 18th century all the way to very complex contemporary world premieres, many of which are dedicated to her, so the composer Phillipe Hersant will say of her that she possesses “beauty of sound, perfection of style and depth of eloquence”.
