In Budapest, she worked with György Kurtág and played the national premiere of his solo works as a 17-year-old. In Toronto, baroque performance practice and new music also became part of her artistic repertoire. She won first prize in the Concerto Competition twice, and performed many times as a soloist with the Orchestra of the Glenn Gould Professional School.

In Berlin, she continued her concert examination studies, during which time she played in various orchestras such as the Munich Klangverwaltung Orchestra and chamber orchestras such as the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Ensemble Oriol Potsdam, Miron quartet and later the Berlin-Budapest Quartet.
