Aarvold Glaser made her concert debut in 1921 in Kristiania and became known as a performing pianist and piano teacher. The year after her debut, she performed a Liszt concerto in Berlin with the Philharmonic orchestra, conducted by Kreutzer.{{cite magazine|date=21 October 1921|title=Berlin, Oct 3. |url=https://archive.org/details/sim_musical-america_1922-10-21_36_26/page/174/mode/2up|magazine=Musical America |location= |publisher=Musical America Publications|volume=36|issue=26}} During her career, she held numerous concerts, both in Norway and abroad. In 1926, alongside tenor Chester Watson, she performed a concert at Chickering Hall.{{cite news |title=Norwegian pianist to present program |url=https://archive.org/details/sim_los-angeles-times_the-los-angeles-times_1926-11-07/page/22/mode/2up |work=The Los Angeles Times |date=7 November 1926 |page=22}}
After the German occupation of Norway, Aarvold Glaser's husband Ernst, who was Jewish, started to become the target of anti-Semitic attacks which led him to flee to Sweden in November 1942. Kari and her daughters then fled Norway a few days later to join him and she managed to continue with her music career whilst in Sweden.
She frequently performed with her husband and was also a soloist at the Sandefjord Orkesterforening.{{cite book |last1=Endresen |first1=Odd |title=Sandefjord orkesterforening : glimt fra orkesterets historie |date=2022 |publisher=Sandar historielag |location=Sandefjord |page=5 |url=https://www.nb.no/items/1fa4c245648e4f86dc885717fbf262d0?page=3 |language=no}}
