Since 2004, Roed has toured as a soloist with the baroque orchestra Arte dei Suonatori and has performed as a soloist with Concerto Copenhagen, the Danish National Chamber Orchestra, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Danish Orchestra.[2] Roed’s career as a recorder player includes being a member of several ensembles such as the Elephant House Quartet, Alpha, Concert Pastoral and Sarbak/Roed Duo. She is also the co-founder of Denmark’s baroque music festival Midsommerbarok in Copenhagen.

The sounds of the instruments meshing wonderfully and creating one of the most distinctive recordings of these J. S. Bach classics. In 2019, the Elephant House Quartet album, Telemann's Garden.
