She performed solo and with John Edwards, Veryan Weston,[2] Charlotte Hug, Maggie Nicols,[3] Phil Hargreaves, and the London Improvisors Orchestra.[4] She organized and conducted pieces for Mass Producers , a 20-piece, all-female saxophone/voice orchestra[5] and for Saxophone Experimentals in Space, a 55-piece group of young saxophonists. Kraabel hosted a weekly radio show on Resonance FM[6] and is the editor for the London Musicians Collective's magazine Resonance.
