She has appeared as soloist with orchestras internationally and as solo- and chamber musician for important concert societies in Europe and in the Unites States. For ten years, Voltersvik has been invited as artist-in-residence for a week at the Edvard Grieg Museum in Bergen, among other recital engagements at KODE composers homes. Her recordings “Neo” (solo), “Firebird” (solo) and “Khoreia” (piano duo) have received critical acclaim for their well-thoughtout programme choices, technical skill and artistic expression. She won first prize of the Bradshaw&Buono International Competition in 2017 and the honourable work grant from the Norwegian Arts Council in 2021-2022. Voltersvik received her Master in Performance Degree from the Royal College of Music London, and afterwards an Artist Diploma from Trinity Laban London with distinction from the Intercollegiate Jury.
