In line with her interest in interpreting music with historical criteria, and coinciding with the recent restoration of a Collard & Collard grand piano from 1847 by the Muzio Clementi Association of Barcelona, she has been invited to participate in several recitals accompanied by Marina Rodríguez Brià (pianist, researcher and founding member). Her repertoire includes little-known and forgotten works by M. Clementi and F. Sor.
