studied with Cees Dekker and Wim ten Have and continued her studies with Nobuko
Imai and Ervin Schiffer. She took masterclasses with Thomas Riebl, Kim Kashkashian,
Atar Arad and the Alban Berg Quartet.
She played with Amsterdam Sinfonietta and,
as a freelancer, with the Asko Ensemble, the Schoenberg Ensemble and the Nieuw Ensemble.
In recent years she has concentrated exclusively on chamber and solo performances.
Her committment to exploring the role of the viola in different historical periods
has led her to work with ensembles of contrasting nature, including the Baroque
ensemble Musica ad Rhenum, the Nepomuk Fortepiano Quintet, a duo with Riko Fukuda,
the Brussels ensemble Oxalys (late Romantic repertoire and French Impressionism),
the Barton Workshop (American experimental music) and the Zephyr Kwartet
(contemporary string quartets).
As a soloist she has recently performed music by
Mozart, Berio, Benjamin, Grisey and Partch. Recent CD recordings as soloist and
chamber musician have been released on labels including Q-disk, Vanguard Classics,
Explicit, Tzadik, Megadisc, New World Records, Mode Records and Brilliant Classics.
