Important highlights of her concert activities so far have been a New Year's Eve matinee with the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra conducted by Kent Nagano and a concert tour of the Balthasar Neumann Choir & Ensemble led by Thomas Hengelbrock. Ida further performed Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 under Simone Young in Hamburg and Mozart’s Requiem under Pablo Heras-Casado in Salzburg.
