Guadalupe is currently Adjunct Professor of Music Education at the CERADA of the University of the Arts Helsinki, and Postdoctoral Researcher and teacher at the Sibelius Academy.

She has appeared as a soloist at many prestigious venues, and has taken part in a number of notable festivals in Europe, Russia, and the US. Olga Andryushchenko is a Russian pianist based in Germany. She graduated from the Moscow Conservatory.
