She made Jerusalem her home for 10 years, engaging with the jazz and improvised music scene. Since returning to the UK, she has worked with many leading jazz and world music groups, including Antonio Forcione, Kosmos Ensemble, Shekoyo’kh Gilad Atzmon, Neil Cowley, Julian Ferraretto, Alice Zawadski and Robert Mitchell.

This concert forms part of OCM’s education and outreach programme, presented in collaboration with Artscape and Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.
