She has appeared as a concerto soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta and Pierre Boulez, and on its acclaimed Green Umbrella series with Esa-Pekka Salonen and Oliver Knussen. This concert is part of an artist residency that includes readings/recordings of Ling's and Mulligan's works on Sept. 21.
