In addition to Z.o.o. guitar duo, Marion's collaboration with Shakuhachi Master Andrew Macgregor is worth special mention: following the enormous success of their first CD, a second is now in the works, and will again feature Marion's own arrangements of stunningly beautiful Japanese koto music for the guitar. Japanese music/storytelling was also central to a series of 30 schools concerts she recently presented in Almere. She has recorded for Move Records and Naxos.
