She appears on numerous recordings, highlights of which include Pinchgut Opera’s Fairy Queen and Dardanus, The Wonders of the World with Echo du Danube, Mozart’s Requiem with the Leipzig Kammerorchester and Gewandhaus Kammerchor. In 2009 Miriam  completed a concert tour of Australia with Ironwood Ensemble for Musica Viva and gave performances of Messiah with the Queensland Orchestra and Melbourne Symphony directed by Stephen Layton. After making her debut with Glydnebourne Festival Opera in performances of Purcell’s Fairy Queen, Miriam continued with that production to Paris, Caen and New York.  Other engagements in 2009 included performances of Israel in Egpyt in Germany and Monteverdi’s 6th Book of Madrigals with Les Arts Florissants.  Forthcoming engagements will take Miriam around Europe with L’arpeggiata singing Monteverdi, to Rotterdam for a performance with Franz Brüggen and the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and to Maulbronn’s UNESCO World Heritage preserved Klosterkirche.
