They have performed together in many venues around Europe including Norway, Italy and France and recitals in the London Handel Festival. Ana Maria and Lawrence have recorded a CD of Handel duets and solos entitled Love Handel.

As part of Purcell's Muse

With decades of musical experience performing all over the world, each member of Purcell’s Muse brings technical, musical and expressive accomplishment of the highest level to this new ensemble. Together, they have found a personal and musical compatibility of extraordinary immediacy and depth.
