In 2007, she continued her studies with Marie-Claude Theuveny in Paris before entering the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in the class of Véronique Bogaerts. There, she obtained both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees—each with distinction—in 2013.

In September 2014, she began a Master’s degree in early music at the same institution, studying with Mira Glodeanu and Alessandro Moccia, and joined the ensemble The New Baroque Times.

A passionate chamber musician, Ingrid performs regularly in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Spain with various ensembles.

In September 2016, she founded the duo SchangAy with pianist Myriam Ayari. Supported by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, the duo released an album in September 2021 that received strong praise from Belgian critics.

Her career has taken her to leading festivals in France—such as the Berlioz Festival, Les Folles Journées de Nantes, La Roque d’Anthéron, La Chaise-Dieu, Piano Lille Festival, and the Aix-en- Provence Easter Festival—and internationally at the Grafenegg Festival, the BBC Proms in London, the Prague Festival, the Hong Kong Arts Festival, the Berlin Musikfest, the Enescu Festival in Bucharest, the Salzburg Festival, and the Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo.

From February to September 2024, Ingrid served as violin teacher and conductor of the string orchestra at the EMI of Villers-Cotterêts, where she thrived in her teaching role.
