As a soloist, Anna has made her international debut in Romania, playing the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and her Birmingham Symphony Hall debut playing Lark Ascending with Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra in April 2009.

At the moment she is preparing to move to London to do her postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy of Music.
