She plays regularly with the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse during recruitment competitions and also during the orchestra’s concert season. She also performs in Chamber Music concerts, on both piano and organ.
In 2012 she founded a music school near Toulouse, with the aim of offering high-quality music teaching, and a cultural experience in a semi-rural setting.
She co-founded, with Dominique Patte de Dufourq, deputy mayor, the classic music festival «La Semaine Musicale Montredonnaise», in the Tarn, of which she was Artistic Director. They offered, in beautiful surroundings, an eclectic programme of high quality performances, thanks to their collaboration with artists such as Clara Cernat, Julien Martineau, and the Zahir Quartet (saxophones). In 2019 she formed a duo (Duo Yakaira) with Angel Villart, accordionist, a violin and piano duo with Carole Bruère-Garbarg, Professor of Violin at the Conservatoire de Toulouse, and also a lyric duo with the American soprano Elizabeth Moran.
