She performs piano both solo and with various chamber musicians ensembles and has played in venues around the world, including Carnegie Hall, the cargo bay of a Bristol Freighter aeroplane and Nairobi, Kenya.

In recent years she has attained a high profile for her one-woman, inter-disciplinary creations; in which she explores the use of voiced texts in a theatrical relationship with music.

One of these works, which she will perform in Calgary on March 06, 2013 is a solo piano and spoken text work titled Aunt Kate. It depicts the life of McIntosh’s aunt, a quirky, pioneering woman with all sorts of astounding and hilarious stories to tell.
