She has also recorded with Sunnyside, Mode, Cantaloupe and Porter Records. In 2010 and 2011 she toured Europe and South Africa with Esperanza Spalding and Chamber Music Society on violin and viola.Olivia has closely collaborated with well-known composers such as Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Pierre Boulez, Anthony Braxton, Chaya Czernowin, Peter Eötvös, Beat Furrer, Michael Gordon, Annie Gosfield, Helmut Lachenman, David Lang, Brad Lubman, Philippe Manoury, Benedict Mason, Meredith Monk, Krystof Penderecki, Steve Reich, Todd Reynolds, Ned Rothenberg, J.G Thirwell, Julia Wolfe, and Evan Ziporyn.
