Alongside solo performances, Eva Fischerová-Martvoňová has had rich and varied partnership with soloists and chamber groupings. She has proved to be an alert and sensitive partner not only for instrumentalists but for singers also.  

She has performed with leading orchestras in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. As soloist and chamber musician she has been a persistent and ardent propagator of Slovak work and has premiered a series of new works, which she has also presented abroad. Even a summary account of her guest appearances abroad is rich and varied:  Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union, Poland, Austria, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Egypt, Pennsylvania (USA), and India.

She has collaborated with radio and television. A series of her recordings, principally of Slovak piano literature, may be found in the record library of Slovak Radio in Bratislava. During recent years the main content of her activity has shifted towards methodological, pedagogical and organisational activity.

The difference she has made to piano teaching in Bratislava is far-reaching. She has taught at all levels of musical education, from elementary pupils to qualified artists, to whom she has given guidance in building their repertoire. At the Academy of Performing Arts alone more than 30 graduates came from her class.  

She has been president of the Slovak section of the European association of piano teachers (EPTA). Communicating her experience of the podium and of teaching, she has lectured both at home and abroad (Graz, Dresden, Weimar, Pennsylvania). Since 1988, each year she has prepared, dramaturgically and organisationally, summer seminars at the Conservatory in Bratislava (in cooperation with the association of music teachers in Slovakia). For some time she has devoted herself to children with exceptional musical talent at the Primary Art Schools. She is often invited to be a member or president of the jury in piano competitions.
