In 1945, interested in the avant-garde concrete music that Pierre Schaeffer was experimenting with in Paris, she moved there and joined the newly formed Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrète at his direction.{{cite web|url=http://www.rem.ufpr.br/_REM/REMv4/vol4/arti-palombini.htm|title=Palombini (1999)}} At the same time, she studied with Nadia Boulanger and later, in São Paulo, with Hans-Joachim Koellreutter. She authored several works for piano and instrumental chamber ensembles, but is best known for her vocal pieces with piano accompaniment, with some sixty compositions.{{cite book|author1=Miguel Ficher|author2=Martha Furman Schleifer|author3=John M.
