To commemorate the Mozart Bicentennial Year in 1991, Flavia was invited as Cultural Awardee for two weeks to Austria, to Salzburg and Vienna. Upon returning to Kuala Lumpur, she gave an all-Mozart recital under the auspices of the Austrian Embassy. She also formed a String Ensemble and a Piano Quartet, performing Mozart's works, for several concerts which continued into 1992 in various places in Kuala Lumpur as well as in Ipoh, a town in the northern state of Perak. It was at this time that Flavia decided to enhance her concert performances using the photographic slides she had taken herself during her visits abroad as Cultural Awardee.
