Her orchestral experience includes leading the London Young Soloists Ensemble as well as principal positions in the International Youth Symphony Orchestra, Focus Opera and National Schools' Symphony Orchestra. Mili won principal positions in all of Trinity Laban's orchestras by the beginning of her third year, with highlights including leading Trinity Laban's String Ensemble in performances of contemporary chamber works at the 2012 'Out of the Cage' Festival. Additionally, she co-led the orchestra of the first professional opera production in Trinidad & Tobago.

Mili is grateful for her scholarship support and sponsors, including EMI and HSBC. She plays a 1719 Camilli violin which she is generously loaned by the Benslow Trust.
