In 2019 she performed for the second time at the Berliner Kabarett Anstalt in the context of the series "Unerhörte Musik". The performance was under the title "Zuwanderungen" (immigration) and included exclusively modern works of female composers like Ursula Mamlok, Mayako Kubo, Ruth Zechlin, Verdina Shlonsky, Sarah Nemtsov, Unsuk Chin and others.
In March 2019 her first solo CD "Verbotene Klänge" was released under the label Kreuzberg Records. The production was supported by the Ursula Mamlok foundation.
