Carmen has been a member of several youth ensembles in Spain, including the Orquesta Joven de Andalucía and the Orquesta Joven de Córdoba. At the age of 17, she made her solo debut with the Orquesta de Córdoba, performing Mozart’s Concerto in G major, K. 313.

As a passionate chamber musician, Carmen is a founding member of the Tesaru Woodwind Quintet, formed in 2021 during their studies at DKDM.
