Often drawing inspiration from nature and personal experiences, her compositions frequently feature programmatic elements and a distinctive sonic palette.

The Théâtre Antique De Vienne is a remarkably well-preserved Roman theatre dating back to the 1st century AD. Originally constructed during the reign of Emperor Augustus, it could accommodate approximately 10,000 spectators in its heyday. Rediscovered in the 19th century, extensive restoration efforts have allowed it to function as a performance venue once more. It is considered one of the most important Roman monuments in France and is listed as a historical monument. Today, it hosts a variety of performances during the annual *Jazz à Vienne* festival, of which this concert is a part; however, it also stages opera, theatre and other musical events throughout the summer season capitalizing on its unique acoustics and historical significance.
