Jones moved to Europe for further studies and spent the rest of her life there, notably playing chamber music in a trio with violinist Brenton Langbein and horn player Barry Tuckwell, in a piano duo with Dario De Rosa, and in the Quintetto Fauré Di Roma which she co-founded. Jones performed the Italian premiere of Britten's Piano Concerto with the RAI Orchestra of Turin, and she played Tippett's Piano Concerto at the 1973 Proms with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. She taught chamber music with piano at the Fiesole School of Music.
