In May 2016 and 2017, she served as an assistant to Prof. Norma Fisher at London’s Royal College of Music. In 2016, the Maribor Festival organised the first concert for babies with Adriana Magdovski. The concert was very well received, and has proved an extremely popular event for families with children in subsequent years.
