lives in Vienna, where she works as a freelance musician and teaches at Konservatorium Wien University. She began her career as a soloist in 1996, after taking first place at the International Johann Heinrich Schmelzer Competition at Melk Monastery with the virtuoso baroque aria “Vo far Guerra” from G.F. Handel’s opera “Rinaldo”.

Her solo and chamber music activities—with the ensembles Capella Leopoldina and Private musicke—have been documented in numerous CD and radio recordings and have received several awards.

In her first solo CD, for which she received the “Pasticcio Prize” from the Austrian national radio station Ö1, she introduces harpsichord works by Viennese imperial Kapellmeister Johann Joseph Fux. In April 2005, she presented previously unknown twelve-tone music by Josef Matthias Hauer at the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York.

Her newest program, “Voglio il core”, with music of the Venetian cinquecento, is dedicated to musical rarities from the circle of courtesan Veronica Franco and her patron Domenico Venier.
