Since the late 80s she has performed extensively in the former Soviet Union both in recital and with orchestra and has appeared at many major German festivals. She currently performs regularly throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South America. Her tour of South America in 1999 was so successful that she was immediately invited back. She recently had to give up her teaching position at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow because she is in so much demand on the international concert circuit.
