Iseut Chuat's repertoire reflects a wide variety of styles, ranging from baroque works to contemporary repertoire that she likes to introduce. Several works are dedicated to him, notably the Suite for solo cello "Jaguar song" by Paul Desenne, Venezuelan cellist and composer, also "Pas de deux", Concertino for flute, cello and orchestra as well as the "Inventions" for flute and cello by Bernhard Heiden, one of Paul Hindemith's great students.

She signs a contract to engrave the complete Beethoven sonatas with Delos in 2019.

Iseut Chuat reconciled her concert career with the responsibility of transmission: appointed Professor at Indiana University in the United States in 1994 to take over from Janos Starker's class, she was not long in becoming a highly regarded professor in the world of the cello. She responds to invitations from many universities in the United States to give Master Classes. When she followed her husband to Boston in 1997, she taught at the New England Conservatory, Boston University and the Longy School of Music in Cambridge MA. Since her return to Europe in 2002, she continues to give Master Classes in many European countries but also in Japan and South America. From 2017, she is invited by the State University of Santiago in Chile to supervise the opening of a new program, that of Master for Concertists, the first and only in South America. In this context, she will go to Santiago every semester to give an intensive cycle of courses and Master Classes to cello students - in close collaboration with teachers - coming from all South American countries.
