Alice is a founding member of the critically acclaimed chamber group Ensemble Molière, which was selected as the first-ever BBC Radio 3 New Generation Baroque Ensemble, in collaboration with BBC Radio 3, the National Centre for Early Music, and the Royal College of Music. Ensemble Molière has performed widely across the UK and Europe, with notable appearances at festivals such as the Buxton International Festival, Beverley Early Music Festival, Lammermuir Festival, MA Festival Fringe in Bruges, and Festival Oude Muziek Fringe in Utrecht. The ensemble has taught at the Dartington International Summer School and at the Royal College of Music.

As an orchestral musician, Alice has performed worldwide with prominent ensembles including the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, The Irish Baroque Orchestra, Dunedin Consort, The Sixteen, and as a member of the European Union Baroque Orchestra (EUBO) and L'Académie d’Ambronay. Highlights include performing at Shakespeare's Globe in Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. A Reimagining featuring music by Max Richter, and collaborating with the Northern Irish ensemble Sestina and Rachel Podger for their programme Mein Freund ist Mein.

As a soloist, Alice has performed Telemann’s Concerto for Three Violins in F Major alongside Rachel Podger at Wigmore Hall and was selected for the Handel House Talent Scheme. She has curated and performed a series of recitals and discussions focusing on Baroque violin repertoire, receiving widespread acclaim at venues across the UK.

She played so sympathetically to the underpinning harmonies and there was so much light and shade, it was a real delight. One hears so much totally virtuosic Bach which shows little or no musical integrity. It is also so difficult to alternate between talking informatively and switching to playing and she brought that off very well. So lovely and actually quite rare, for a student one has known to blossom in the profession. I would certainly be pleased to hear her again.
