Lili pulled Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Clarinet Concerto” out of her arsenal in concert with the Randstad Begeleidingsorkest in March 2004.

On 4^th February 2006, she appeared at the Buiksloterkik in Amsterdam with her fellow NRSO string musicians David Peralta Alegre, Julia Barnes, Maartje Hetsen and Bengt Widlund, for a program entitled “The Colors of the Clarinet”. The multimedia event juxtaposed music of Brahms, Frantisec Domazlicky and Mozart with the artwork of Christiaan Keuleman.

They haunted the same venues the fall of 2007 with cellist Artur Trajko and pianist Sepp Grotenhuis.

Once more with feeling: Same locale, different year, they joined forces with violinist Tinta Schmidt von Altenstadt for Alphons Diepenbrock’s “Danse des Nymphes et Epilogue d’Appollon” from the “Marsyas Suite” and “Hymne voor viool en orkest” and Gustav Mahler’s “Symfonie nr. 5 in cis”, in January 2008.
