She has performed as principal cellist in a number of Australian orchestras including the Australian Pops Orchestra and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and as soloist with a variety of regional orchestras in Australia.

Miranda is a keen chamber musician. As a child she played in the Brockman String Quartet and in later life was a member of the prize-winning Lyric Trio at Melbourne University. She was a founding member of Trio Anima Mundi whose recordings are regularly broadcast over both ABC and 3MBS and has been a frequent performer in the MSO's Chamber series. Trio Anima Mundi’s debut album, released in 2013, received high international praise, including a 2013 Musicweb International Recording of the Year. 'As to chamber music this has to be the CD of the year and, perhaps, many years to come.' (wrightmusic.net).
