Her performance of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Rapides Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Roberto Gianola was successfully broadcast live throughout the world. As one of the most outstanding pianists of her generation, she has been invited to give numerous master classes and to perform at several international renowned music festivals as a guest artist, including the Kissinger Klavier Olympics at the 30th Kissinger Sommer and the Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad.
