The young singer pursues an active concert career both as a soloist and as a member of select ensembles.

Early on, Michelle established herself as an esteemed soloist, both in the concert repertoire and in the lied repertoire, which is particularly close to her heart. She performs with the North German baroque ensembles L'Arco, la festa musicale, Ensemble Schirokko and the Göttinger Barockorchester. As a Lied interpreter, she regularly develops new Lied programs in collaboration with the pianist Hikaru Kanki and the pianist Malte Schäfer and has performed at festivals such as the Niedersächsische Musiktage, the Klangbrücken Festival Hanover and the Schlosstheater Schönbrunn in Vienna.
 

During her studies she gained opera experience as the Third Lady in Mozart's "Magic Flute", Ruggiero in Handel's "Alcina" and as Larina in Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin".
