She is a regular concert soloist around the UK and as well as recitals has performed most of the oratorio repertoire: Mozart Mass in C minor, Exsultate Jubilate & Requiem, Mendelssohn Elijah, Poulenc Gloria, Haydn Nelson Mass, Handel Messiah, Vivaldi Gloria, Rutter Magnificat, Beethoven Mass in C, Bach St Matthew's Passion, Magnificat in D & the Christmas Oratorio & Faure’s Requiem.
