Appointed principal flute of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra in 2017, she has since solidified her place as an eminent young artist by winning the First Prize at the Carl Nielsen International Competition in 2019.
Winner of the third prize at the Prague Spring International Competition (2015), Joséphine has been invited to appear as a soloist with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Orchestre Pasdeloup and Domestica Rotterdam among others.

As a chamber musician, she regularly performs with Juliette Hurel (flute), Julien Hervé (clarinet), Anaïs Gaudemard (harp), Sélim Mazari (piano), Quatuor Hanson and Ensemble Ouranos.
