Over the last two years she has recorded the critically acclaimed Ohrwurm for Delphian, Settecento with La Serenissama for Signum, and Sounds Familiar with GWK in Germany. Passionate about outreach work, Tabea has contributed to Saffron Hall and Music Masters education programmes, and given masterclasses at the Gstaad Baroque Academy, University of Music & Performing Arts Vienna and the Royal College of Music.
