As a professional musician, she plays violin in a well-known symphony orchestra.
The word has a clear structure: It begins with 'Musik' (music), the ending '-er' indicates a person who does something, and the ending '-in' makes it the feminine form. This structure is typical for many German job titles.

To emphasize that it is a profession, the adjectives 'professionell' (professional) or 'hauptberuflich' (full-time) are often added. You can also say that someone is 'Musikerin von Beruf' (a musician by profession).

Common verbs in connection with 'Musikerin' are 'ein Instrument spielen' (to play an instrument), 'in einer Band spielen' (to play in a band), 'Konzerte geben' (to give concerts), or 'auf Tour sein' (to be on tour).
Die Musikerin gibt nächstes Jahr ein Konzert in unserer Stadt.
