In 2007 she was a US Grammy nominee in the category ”Best instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra” for the recording of Ole Schmidt’s Flute Concerto.
Mrs. Miilmann has received the Jacob Gade Honorary Award, the Danish Music Critic’s Prize and the Peter Warming Memorial Prize, the latter awarded for her artistic contribution to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra greatly helping the orchestra to reach the high international standard of today.
She quickly adapted to the school's intensive curriculum, practising every day from 5 a.m., then following classes until late in the afternoon.
But when she saw an advertisement for a post with the Royal Danish Orchestra, she immediately started to practise again, gaining admission when she was just 21.
The following year, she became solo flautist with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra attached to Danmarks Radio,[1] a position she still holds today.
[4] Although she did not win the award, the nomination and her treatment at the event in Los Angeles encouraged her to stick to playing the flute at a time when she had been considering moving into another profession.
