Save for a few details surrounding his employment and likely involvement in a murder, very little is known about the life of Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi Mealli. He left behind a very meager catalog; his twelve violin sonatas, about half his total surviving output, are unique, inventive, and often bizarre in nature, offering a rare glimpse into Pandolfi's eccentric world and personality.

She has performed with ensembles and festivals including The English Concert, New York Baroque Incorporated, TENET, The Sebastians, Teatro Nuovo, and the Festival dans les Jardins de William Christie, amongst many others. She can also be heard on the Academy Award-winning score of the 2019 film, “Joker”.
