In 1940, the impresario Harold Holt often included her as a supporting artist to the tenor Richard Tauber, with whom she toured the country.
By the time of the second world war she was a member of the Ebsworth Quartet and they would tour factories to entertain the workers, play at the National Gallery and in air-raid shelters.
She also took part in film sessions with Malcolm Arnold, Jacques Loussier and Richard Rodney Bennett.
She had identified that the restored St John's Church in Smith Square was an ideal venue for BBC radio concerts.
She encouraged the collaboration between the pianist Peter Frankl, the violinist György Pauk and the American cellist Ralph Kirshbaum to form the Pauk–Kirshbaum–Frankl Piano Trio.
