In recent years Isabel has performed frequently as a soloist in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Switzerland, the UK and USA. While she plays a varied repertoire from the 18th and 19th centuries, her primary interst is contemporary music and music from the 20th century. She works closely with many living composers. More and more composers have written or are writing works especially for her, including Richard Emsley, Erik-Michael Karlsson, Lydia Martin, Stephen Montague, HyeKyung Lee and Mia Zabelka.
Isabel likes to develop concert programmes with special themes. For example, in 1999 she played a recital "The Ghost of Chopin", containing Chopin-related works of seven twentieth century composers. She is also very intersted in all sorts of experimental piano techniques as playing inside the piano, prepared piano, playing with electronics etc. She has a special love for American music as by John Cage, Henry Cowell, Henry Brant, Stephen Montague, George Crumb, John Adams and many others.
One of her newest projects is called "Toy Piano on Tour". Based on John Cage's "Suite for Toy Piano" and repertoire pianist Margaret Leng Tan commissioned in the 90s of the 20th Century, Isabel wants to go further and commissioned several new works for this wonderful instrument.

Future work includes additional performances of Philip Glass' 75-minute music-theatre piece "The State of the Tibetan Nation — A Madrigal Opera" and the premiere of Amnon Wolman's hour-long version of his 11-hour techno-dance house-music epic "The Andy Warhol Diaries." Upcoming recording projects include a CD of violin|viola and keyboard works by Alan Hovhaness (2001 release), the world premiere recording of Morton Feldman's 2CD-length 1985 work "Violin and String Quartet" (2001 release), the first available recording of music by Bob Shechtman, a CD of piano and violin works by Roelof Bijkerk, a full-length CD of three unrecorded early works by Michael Nyman, and a CD spotlighting short works by various composers.
Fong has Bachelors and Masters degrees from Northwestern University, where she graduated Pi Kappa Lambda and was awarded the honorary title "Eckstein Scholar." Her principle violin teachers were Blair Milton, Myron Kartman, and Donna Schaff. She complemented special studies in orchestral music with Samuel Magad, Rubin Gonzales, Francis Akos, Charlie Pikler, Blair Milton, and Edgar Muenzer with chamber music coachings by Gerardo Ribiero, Donald Owens, and Ray Still.
