She has performed with leading orchestras such as the Hungarian National Philharmonic, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Munich Chamber Orchestra and even the Vienna Philharmonic, under conductors including Zubin Mehta, Bernard Haitink, Daniel Barenboim and Iván Fischer. She is a prize-winner of several international competitions, among them the Zoltán Jeney and the Syrinx Flute Competitions, and she received the Dohnányi Ernő Award in 2011 as the best orchestral artist of the year. Currently she serves as principal flutist of the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
