Her international career skyrocketed when she created a sensation at the Classical Brit Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2010, singing Rossini’s Fra il padre at the invitation of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.

La Voce Strumentale was founded in 2011 by the artistic director Dmitry Sinkovsky as a period instruments ensemble bringing together musicians from Europe and Russia. LVS is focusing on the repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries. It has absolutely unique and remarkable string group involving winners of various international competitions, and opens absolutely new horizons for technical and sound possibilities on gut strings.
