In the same year, she was accepted to the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague in the class of Doc. Jaroslav Tůma. She successfully completed her bachelor’s concert with him, and in the following year, 2008, she went for a one-year study abroad internship to Germany at the Musikhochschule in Lübeck, where she studied with Prof. Arvid Gast. Here she performed at several concerts, e.g., in St. Jakobikirche, in the Cathedral, etc. In 2010, she completed her master’s degree with a concert at HAMU as part of the "The Best" concert series with the North Bohemian Philharmonic Teplice, performing F. Poulenc’s organ concerto. Within the school, she performed, for example, at the Minifestival Kabeláče and Messiaena, at concerts of contemporary music of the composition department, etc.

She collaborates with various Czech orchestras including the CNSO Czech National Symphony Orchestra, North Bohemian Philharmonic, Atlantis Orchestra, Collegium magistrorum Mikulov, and Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic. She is very actively involved in music education for children, teaching piano and organ. With violinist Alexej Aslamas, she developed music lectures for primary and art schools, focusing on classical music and modern contemporary music. She always strives to promote organ music, which is why she organised a series of concerts in the castle chapel in Lednice na Moravě in the summers of 2016 and 2017, and since 2016 she regularly organises Advent and Epiphany concerts with a choir and orchestra in South Moravia. In 2020, she performed as a soloist with the Sedunum String Orchestra at concerts in Switzerland, and is the founder of the newly established international music festival "Silberbauer’s Musical Thaya Region" in South Moravia and Lower Austria.

Ort
The church was built on the site of an earlier Romanesque church. The core of the present building dates from the 15th century. However, the construction was not completed due to the Hussite invasion of the town, the burning and looting of the church. The church was provisionally repaired and subsequently completed during the 16th century and in the first half of the 17th century. The construction was completed around 1640 with the new vaulting of the nave with new stucco decoration. The sacristy with a musical gallery on the upper floor was added and the Gothic windows were modified to their present form.
