In 1984 she won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition and was a medal winner in the Eurovision Young Musician, which was televised throughout Europe. Later she was to be a winner of the Young Concert Artist Auditions in New York.
Since then she has performed across five continents and her name is known around the world.
