Isabel Ettenauer's recitals delight her audiences with well balanced programming, a fresh approach to new music and great intensity. The love for the music she is performing, is conveyed to the listeners in a very direct way.

In her solo programmes Isabel focuses on the diversity of music from the 20th and 21st centuries. She is very interested in the development of newer piano techniques such as playing inside the piano, on a prepared piano and performing with tape/electronics. Isabel has also created programmes with both piano and toy piano pieces or works which use both instruments.

As a virtuoso pianist Isabel Ettenauer has appeared at a number of festivals and venues including the BMIC (London), the Leamington Festival (England), the Chicago Cultural Centre (USA), Haus der Musik and Alte Schmiede (Vienna), Steirischer Herbst (Graz) and the Festspielhaus St. Poelten (Austria).

Besides her solo performances Isabel Ettenauer likes to collaborate with other artists.

A very special experience was her meeting with American composer Henry Brant in 1999, which led to a participation in his huge spatial work 'Meteor Farm' at Dartington Hall, England, with the composer himself conducting. (In the meantime Henry Brant has written a toy piano piece for Isabel.)
