As a soloist, she has performed with the Flemish Radio Choir , Collegium Vocale Gent , Currende conducted by Erik Van Nevel, and La Petite Bande conducted by Sigiswald Kuijken.

In 2012, she won the 1st prize at the International Bell'Arte Singing Competition (B). Her participation in the Queen Elisabeth Competition 2011 (B) also did not go unnoticed.

 

From 2012 till 2016, Emilie was also a regular guest with VocaalLAB (now Silbersee), a Dutch company specializing in music theatre, and was thus able to perform creations under the direction of conductors such as Filip Rathé and Reinbert de Leeuw. With this company, she made her debut at La Monnaie in April 2013 with the chamber opera 'Les Aveugles' by Daan Janssens (co-production with LOD and Musiques Nouvelles).

 

Her love for chamber music, and for Lied in particular, has already brought her into contact with various pianists, and in this context, she also received coaching from Inge Spinette, Wolfram Rieger, and Erik Schneider.

 

In the autumn of 2018, she performed the Autumn Concert at the Royal Palace as a soloist with the Royal Band of the Guides, as well as the Gala Concert of the Guides at Bozar.
