Since 2018 she has been working intensively on playing the viola d'amore and developing her repertoire for this instrument in the direction of baroque, classical and modern.

Tatjana Masurenko is currently devoting herself intensively to historical performance practice , particularly to the style of play of the 19th century and the romantic repertoire. Inspired by Jesper Christensen's ideas, she and the pianist Gilad Katznelson deal with questions of interpretation of this music, also on the basis of historical sound documents, which they published in 2017 on the CD “Just a motion on the air”.

Many of her students have built successful careers and are internationally active as soloists, professors, solo violists in large orchestras and chamber musicians. Their teaching style is based on the St. Petersburg tradition of the 19th / early 20th century and merges with the new ideas and feelings of the 20th/21. Century, especially in the interpretation of the baroque and classical periods.

She plays a viola made by PA Testore, Milan 1756, and an instrument made especially for her by Jürgen Manthey, Leipzig 2017, who has developed new acoustic and tonal construction methods that clearly distinguish his instruments from others.
