In 2003 she collaborated with the London Sinfonietta for the first time. Nunu premiered at the Royal Festival Hall in London at a concert titled "Warp Works and 20th Century Masters". The critically acclaimed piece, then toured internationally performed by live insects, orchestra and Calix on electronics.
