Shortly after, it participated in the Bohuslav Martinů Foundation Competition 2023, where it won first prize as well as the award for best participant and the Viktor Kalabis and Zuzana Růžičková Foundation Prize. In 2024, it completed a masterclass with Areta Zhulla, first violinist of the Juilliard String Quartet, and was invited to attend masterclasses at Juilliard School in New York a year later. It has also studied with Fedor Rudin and performed at the South Bohemian Chamber Festival, the Bohuslav Martinů Days, the Prague Music Celebrations festival, and the Golden Pea festival in Pardubice. As the resident ensemble of Salón Celetná, it has had the opportunity to work under the direction of violist Pavel Nikl.
