Biography
Her father was a disciple of Leopold Auer under whose guidance she practiced violin since she was four years old. She completed her studies in Buenos Aires under guidance of Ljerko Spiller and until she turned 17 was living in South America. When she turned 18, she moved to Europe where she continued her violin study and the same year (1963) won the gold medal for a Carl Flesch Competition in London. Few years later, she was awarded a silver medal for her participation in the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in Brussels and during the same time took some lessons from Yehudi Menuhin, Joseph Szigeti, and Sandor Vegh.
Currently she plays with Oscar Lysy and Walter Notas and is a violin professor at both the Kronberg Academy and the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München.
