The 24/25 season sees Alisa perform with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Gewandhausorchester and Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, alongside Gustavo Dudamel, Lahav Shani, Alan Gilbert, Franz Welser-Möst and Rafael Payare. She also gives the world premiere of concertos by Thomas Larcher, Richard Blackford and Gabriella Ortiz with the New York Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic and Los Angeles Philharmonic respectively.

In spring 2025 Alisa returns to Carnegie Hall to perform Fragments II & III following the New York premiere of Fragments I in 2023. Devised and developed by Alisa, Fragments is a six-part sequence of music combining Bach’s Cello Suites with 27 newly-commissioned works, accompanied by production, staging and lighting design. Presentations of the multi-year project have already taken place at Severance Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Kennedy Center and Tanglewood Festival, with the European premiere set for 25/26.

A recipient of the MacArthur "Genius Grant" Fellowship, Alisa works regularly with the world’s top orchestras. Highlights of the last three seasons include engagements with the Berlin Staatskapelle, Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester and Verbier Festival, as well as collaborations with Paavo Järvi, Joshua Weilerstein, Karina Canellakis, Ryan Bancroft, Daniel Harding, Leonidas Kavakos, Kirill Gerstein and regular duo partner Inon Barnatan. She records exclusively for Pentatone.
