Her approach frequently emphasizes a close collaboration with musicians, fostering a responsive and communicative performance environment.

The concert will take place at the Royal Festival Hall, located on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. Opened in 1951 as part of the Festival of Britain, it was envisioned as a national centre for the arts and remains one of the United Kingdom’s leading concert and performance venues. Designed by Leslie Martin and Peter Moro, its modernist architecture has been Grade I listed for its historical and architectural significance. The hall is renowned for its acoustics and has hosted performances by many internationally acclaimed orchestras, soloists, and ensembles since its inception. It serves as the primary venue for the London Philharmonic Orchestra, alongside other resident orchestras and visiting companies. The building underwent significant refurbishment between 2005-2007 to enhance facilities while preserving its original character.
