Her debut as a soloist took place at the age of seven in San Diego, constituting the beginning of a career that led her to play at the Sala Verdi of the Conservatory of Milan at the age of 15 and, together with Shlomo Mintz, with the Israel Sinfonietta Beer-Sheva at the Teatro dell'Opera in Tel Aviv at 16. She has played, among others, with Salvatore Accardo, Roger Norrington, Christopher Hogwood, Donato Renzetti, Gabriele Ferro, Bruno Giuranna, Gianluigi Gelmetti, Wayne Marshall, Antonio Meneses, Domenico Nordio, Xian Zhang.

On January 27th, 2014 she played as a soloist at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome at the Concert I violini della Speranza (The violins of hope). On this occasion, for the first time in Italy, in the hands of the soloists and the Juni Orchestra di Santa Cecilia conducted by Joel Levi, twelve violins and one cello that survived the Shoah, each with its own dramatic history, were played together, found and restored by the Israeli violinmaker Amnon Weinstein. The event, under the aegis of the President of the Republic and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, was broadcast live on RAI 5.
