Since her return home late 1977, Flavia was immediately invited to give several recitals in Kuala Lumpur and in Penang and Ipoh, two towns on the West Coast of Malaysia, initially under the patronage of the Alliance Francaise and later under the British Council. She was also invited to do recordings for the classical music channel at Radio TV Malaysia.

Her solo recitals at the British Council hall, then situated at Bukit Aman in Kuala Lumpur, became regular annual events and preceded her piano masterclass seminars and workshops which were well attended and in great demand, notably in 1986 and 1988. There were also invitations to play with visiting soloists from Europe - violinists, cellists and singers, at various functions in Kuala Lumpur.
