Currently, she is an artist with Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour, a Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation program. She completed her London debut, where she was heralded by the London "Independent" as "the only violinist working today that might be mistaken for Heifetz"; the concert was also rated as one of the top five holiday performances of the season. In April, 2006, she debuted in Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall, where her skills as a virtuoso performer and programmer were again commended.In addition to her recognition as a virtuoso performer, Ann is also a composer.
