She led a violin class at the Joseph Haydn Conservatory in Eisenstadt from 1994 to 2011 and has been a university professor of violin in Vienna since 2011. She played at Ruse on 13 May 2016 in the twentieth Austrian Music Weeks in Bulgaria. Her recordings have appeared on EMI, Gramola and Hungaroton, and her chamber work includes the complete Beethoven piano trios.
