As well she was a visiting artist at the Etobicoke School for the Arts, one of the designated art schools of the Toronto District School Board. 

 

Her orchestral career began at the early age of 23, when she was regularly hired as 2nd flute/ piccolo with the Radio Symphony Orchestra Munich under Sir Colin Davis, touring to Italy and Japan.

Since moving to the East Coast her chamber music activity expanded with the Argento Collective, which includes various ensembles. With Duo Resonance (guitarist Wilma van Berkel) she recorded the CD “From The New Village”, featuring 20th century music.

 

In 1994 Sibylle started the Baroque flute and has performed with the Camerata Basel, Nota Bene Baroque Players and the Toronto Masque Theatre.
