Born in Hungary in 1967, Miss Krausz started to play piano at the age of nine. She graduated in 1990 at the Franz Liszt Academy of Budapest, where her teachers were György Nádor and György Kurtág. She also studied at the European Conservatory in Paris with Yvonne Lefebure and Lívia Rév. Following an audition, Sir Georg Solti immediately engaged Ms. Krausz for a European tour with the Tonhalle Orchestra to play Bartók's Concerto No.3. Consequently, he introduced Ms. Krausz to the Competition of the Chimay Foundation in Brussels where she won the first prize by unanimous decision of the jury. She was the only pianist to be invited to perform in the three Tributes given to Sir Georg Solti in Italy (October 1997), and in London (February 1998).

Ms. Krausz is a regular guest at prestigious festivals such as Montpellier, Menton, Monte Carlo, Schwetzingen, Yokohama, Lille, Reims, Cracow, Budapest, Stresa, etc. Although she lives in Paris, loyal to her native country, she is often invited to give recitals in Hungary and has made several recordings for Hungarian Radio and Television.

As a chamber muisician, she has performed with Youri Bashmet, Boris Pergamenshikov, the Keller and Bartók String Quartets and Shlomo Mintz, with whom she frequently makes recital tours in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Poland.
