She has performed chamber music with Pierre Fournier, Mischa Mischakoff, Josef Gingold and others.

Erisman recently added music composition to her activities. One of her works, Quintet for Bassoon and String Quartet, was performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington. A retrospective of all of her compositions was performed by the Kunming Symphony in China. Last year she performed a solo concert at the Moscow Conservatory as well as a return engagement in China.
