Commissioned by the Manukau Concert Band for their 40th anniversary in 2011, Skirmish In Seven went on to receive a repeat performance by the Westlake Concert Band (conducted by Warwick Robinson) at the 2013 KBB Music Festival. The band were presented with the award for 'Best Performance of a New Zealand Work' in the concert bands category.

Having always harboured a desire to play Latin American music, Yvette found herself in Auckland's Cuban Accent Banda for the first six months of 2013. A wonderful odyssey, during which plenty of people danced.

With Kenny Keppel in a spontaneous outdoor jam near the Telecom Christmas tree!

Yvette presented a short bracket of her own material on clarinet and saxophone at her (then) local music festival in Melbourne. World-famous in Surrey Hills...

What a great set of dance music, popular song and pre-big-band jazz from the 1920s, presented by New Zealand's only authentic 1920s dance orchestra Brett's New Internationals, in which Yvette led the reeds (clarinet, soprano and alto saxophone) and sang in the vocal trio 'The Syncopettes'. The players number about 15, and here is the female contingent. Photo credit: Richard Singleton.
