Marti was a fellow in composition at the Tanglewood Music Center in 1986 and 1988 and worked with other talents like Oliver Knussen and Hans Werner Henze. As a result of her association with Henze, she was invited by the City of Munich to compose her puppet opera, Hero und Leander, for the 1992 Munich Biennale for New Music Theater.
