She also continued advanced studies at the “Mozarteum” in Salzburg and participated in master courses directed by Hans Leygraf, György Sebök, Leon Fleisher, Maria Curcio and Paul Badura-Skoda. She studied Composition with Witold Szalonek and completed her classical preparation with Jazz Improvisation seminars by Walter Norris
Her artistic development has been guided by the intensive study of Sergiu Celibidache's Phenomenology (philosophy) of Music. She also credits her long professional and personal association with renowned pianist Martha Argerich, as well as the frequent contact with directors Claudio Abbado and Daniel Barenboim, as seminal influences in her professional growth.
She has won a number of prizes and awards (among others the “Teresa Carreño” Prize in Venezuela), and has performed in the United States, Europe, South American and Asia at renowned concert halls such as the Berlin Philharmonie and Konzerthaus Berlin, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Sala Verdi in Mailand, Teatro Comunale Bologna, Kennedy Center, Washington D.C., the Music Hall at the University of Miami, the Arnold Schönberg Center at UCLA, and other notable venues.

The collection of CDs offers an interesting selection of argentinian composers such as Ariel Ramírez, Alberto Ginastera, Ástor Piazzolla, Carlos Guastavino, as well as her own compositions. Her own tango arrangements combine classic virtuosity and a big pianistic sound with elements of improvisational freedom.
