She leads the Recreation baroque strings through Corelli’s Follia and much more besides.

The violinist from Spain inspires audiences and fellow musicians with her dedication to unknown, unpublished, or rediscovered works and demonstrates her virtuosity as a concert master in baroque ensembles, as a chamber musician and as a soloist.
Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz. After its formation in 2002, the collective has played in unique halls such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt and has worked with outstanding conductors.
