Early on, Annina acquired experience in various chamber music ensembles and youth orchestras, such as the Jugendsinfonie Orchester Zürich, in which she played the principal flute for many years. She won several first and second prizes in the Swiss Youth Music Competition in the categories solo and chamber music, all the while being active as a soloist and participating in the concert series of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra "ZKO stellt vor". In 2017 Annina Rusch was a finalist at the "Concours International des jeunes interprètes" in Val de Travers and has served as a substitute at the Musikkollegium Winterthur an the Kammerorchester Basel for several years.
Currently Annina is mainly active as a pedagogue.
