Kristīne was a third-prize laureate of the 66th International ARD Music Competition, 2018 Young Artist of the Year in Latvia’s Grand Music Awards, and recipient of the Fundacion Excelentia Young Talent Award from Queen Sofía of Spain.

She has performed solo with internationally leading orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, and Orchestre de Chambre de Paris. Additionally, she has appeared at the Berliner Philharmonie and Carnegie Hall.
