In the 2025-26 season she is scheduled to appear with the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra and the Netherlands Philharmonic, and returns to the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg.
She launched a three-season residency cycle as Junge Wilde at the Konzerthaus Dortmund and won the soloist prize of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival.
