Although she was the youngest entrant, she gained the First Award. In 1990, the town of Rovigo granted her its Premio Quadrivio Award. In 1993, she got into the Paganini Competition of Genoa and had taken First Prize, getting the initial German violinist ever to earn it. A active concert profession ensued. Over another couple of years, she made an appearance using the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra under Lord Yehudi Menuhin, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Munich Chamber Orchestra, the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn, the German Chamber Philharmonic of Bremen, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, holland Philharmonic Orchestra, the Salzburg Camerata, the London Philharmonic, the air Symphony Orchestras of Stuttgart, Cologne, Hannover, and Saarbrücken, as well as the orchestra from the Mozarteum in Salzburg. She produced her U.S. debut in 1995 using the Utah Symphony Orchestra under Joseph Silverstein. Faust can be a devoted recitalist and chamber musician and provides performed in Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich, Paris, Bonn, Bratislava, Brussels, Züwealthy, Milan, Tokyo, London, and Osaka and places in america and Israel. Among her recital companions have already been Clemens Hagen, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Bruno Canino, Stephen Isserlis, Bruno Giuranna, Boris Pergamenschikov, and Joseph Silverstein.

She’s made an appearance at several main music festivals, like the Lockenhaus, Poor Kissingen, Berlin, Delft, Colmar, Schleswig-Holstein, the Rheingau Music Celebration of Wiesbaden, Schwetzingen, Lyon, Sarasota (Florida), and Lanaudière Canada. She produced her debut record in 1997, playing the Bartók Single Violin Sonata and Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano, with Ewa Kupiec, over the Harmonia Mundi label. This documenting gained the Gramophone Prize of that calendar year for “Teen Artist of the entire year,” citing her “mix of musical intuition and specialized finesse. Harmonia Mundi implemented that achievement by participating her to record various other Bartók violin music, like the Second Violin and Piano Sonata. She documented the entire Haydn Violin Concertos over the Skillet Classics label using the Munich Chamber Orchestra carried out by Christoph Poppen (her previous instructor), and prepared to record the entire violin sonatas of Robert Schumann. Her device, loaned from the Landeskreditbank Baden-Württemberg, may be the Stradivarius violin of 1704 referred to as the “Sleeping Beauty Violin.”
