Thérèse enjoys a varied career playing both modern & Baroque violin. She combines playing with teaching and tutoring chamber music ensembles. 

She is a member of the world-renowned period instrument orchestra- The English Concert, and has played with them for almost 20 years. Founded by Trevor Pinnock in the 1970's, the orchestra has a busy touring and recording schedule. 

Thérèse has also been a member of the Academy of Ancient Music, The Hanover Band and has played with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Raglan Baroque, Deütsche Handel Solisten (Karlsrühe) & the Drottningholm Opera Orchestra (Stockholm). She also leads Marlborough Baroque in Dublin.

In 1996 with Mark Duley, she founded Ireland's first professional period instrument orchestra- Christ Church Baroque- now known as Irish Baroque Orchestra. She was Artistic Director and Leader until 2003. In this role she encouraged many young Irish players to play Baroque instruments and to investigate and explore historical performance practices. Many of these players went on to study in London, Manchester, and The Hague and now play with prestigious Baroque orchestras in London and Mainland Europe.
