Playing a 1703 Stradivarius, she appears regularly with orchestras such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic and the Rotterdam Philharmonic, and has championed contemporary music through world premieres of concertos by Joey Roukens and Thomas Agerfeldt Olesen.
Simone Lamsma switched from the British agency HarrisonParrott to the German KD Schmid for her general management.
Lamsma performed the Brahms Violin Concerto with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Tarmo Peltokoski.
Her recording of the Sibelius Violin Concerto with the Orchestre national d'Île-de-France and conductor Case Scaglione was released on the NoMadMusic label.
