In 2009 she completed the two-year "Diploma in Performance" course of postgraduate study at the Royal Academy of Music in London with Prof Hamish Milne, for which the Academy had granted her a merit scholarship. At RAM she won the Macfarren Prize for Best Solo Recital, awarded previously to Sir Clifford Curzon and Dame Myra Hess.

A European premiere of the recorded work took place in October 2013 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
