Afterwards she began to give concerts with orchestras and recitals in several cities in China, during which time she commenced playing chamber music as well.

    In 1998 she went to Europe for further musical education with Professor Igori I. Suchomlinov, a scholar of Stanislav Neuhaus and Professor Felix Gottlieb, a scholar of Alexander Goldenweiser andr,Emil Gilels.

The well known German newspaper Badische Zeitung has written about her:

    The Chinese Yubo Zhou presented herself as a brilliant pianist, who not only commanded a faultless technique, but also had a decisive sense of verve. In particular she performed the closing rondo with great excitement. It was  rhythmical, skilful with accented clarity and at the end of so bold a virtuso performance, the orchestra ‘hung on to every note’.

    She has participated in the master classes of, amongst others, Prof. Dmitri Bashkirov，Prof. Dmitri Alexeev, Prof. Oxana Yablonskaya，Prof. Karl-Heinz Kaemmerling and Prof. Jacques Rouvier.
