Jackie spent fifteen years leading the Brindisi String Quartet, giving concerts worldwide and making many recordings. She has appeared at the Wigmore Hall over fifty times.
She is currently leader and director of the Britten Sinfonia, Associate Ensemble at London´s Barbican Centre. Notable performances include The Messiah in the Concertgebouw and Bach’s St John Passion at the Barbican.
