In the past few months she’s created new works while a resident in the UK and New York; worked on a piece for the Aotea Flute Quartet; had a piece commissioned for US bass-baritone Nicholas Isherwood and is currently working on a 25 minute solo piano commission for Henry Wong Do.

Amongst all that, she’s about to celebrate turning 60 with a cabaret show which features covers of her works by various people in the classical, pop and jazz communities.
