霍森亦被国际乐坛公认为杰出的小提琴教育家。他现任新保加利亚大学教授，曾执教于马德里索菲亚王后高等音乐学院。他的学生在多项重要国际比赛中荣获最高奖项，其中包括大卫·奥伊斯特拉赫国际小提琴比赛、蒂博尔·瓦尔加国际小提琴比赛、科齐安国际小提琴比赛以及玛丽亚·卡纳尔斯国际音乐比赛。许多学生已在欧洲和亚洲发展出成功的职业生涯，担任乐团首席、职业乐团演奏家或独奏家。
霍森以非凡的深度诠释每一部作品，尤其重视作品的历史背景与最高标准的风格真实性。他的音乐学研究与艺术实践在很大程度上致力于尼科洛·帕格尼尼相关原始文献的考证与研究，而帕格尼尼的创作也在其艺术生涯中占据核心地位。马里奥·霍森被广泛认为是帕格尼尼音乐最重要的诠释者和研究专家之一。
在他的主持下，帕格尼尼小提琴独奏作品全集以及小提琴与乐团作品全集，已由维也纳多布林格出版社（Doblinger）以历史批判版的形式收入"Diletto Musicale"系列并正式出版。
马里奥·霍森已为意大利唱片品牌Dynamic和Da Vinci Classics，以及Hänssler Classic和Doron Music录制并发行26张CD。他丰富的唱片作品包括尼科洛·帕格尼尼、马克斯·布鲁赫、费利克斯·门德尔松和约翰内斯·勃拉姆斯小提琴协奏曲全集，以及帕格尼尼全部15首弦乐与吉他四重奏。
他的唱片还包括路德维希·范·贝多芬、约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫和乔治·弗里德里希·亨德尔的小提琴奏鸣曲全集。此外，他还完成了多部此前从未出版的作品的世界首演录音，涉及尼科洛·帕格尼尼、沃尔夫冈·阿玛多伊斯·莫扎特、朱塞佩·塔蒂尼、亚历山德罗·罗拉和萨韦里奥·梅尔卡丹特等作曲家。
曾为霍森题献作品的作曲家包括莱纳·比朔夫（Rainer Bischof）、格奥尔基·阿尔瑙多夫（Gheorghi Arnaoudov）、托马斯·马尔科（Tomás Marco）、弗朗索瓦-皮埃尔·德康（François-Pierre Descamps）、佩里克利斯·利亚卡基斯（Periklis Liakakis）、鲁门·迪米特洛夫（Roumen Dimitrov）、亚历山德罗·索尔比亚蒂（Alessandro Solbiati）和瓦尔特·贝尔（Walter Baer）。
作为独奏家兼指挥，霍森在维也纳"Concert Spirituel"音乐会系列中执棒维也纳室内乐团和Les Orphéistes乐团。
马里奥·霍森还曾受邀担任多项重要国际小提琴比赛的评委，其中包括维尔纽斯亚莎·海菲兹国际小提琴比赛、维也纳弗里茨·克莱斯勒国际小提琴比赛、阿维尼翁吉内特·内沃国际小提琴比赛、锡永蒂博尔·瓦尔加国际小提琴比赛和阿尔弗雷德·宾纳小提琴比赛，以及在东京、索菲亚和维也纳举办的其他赛事。
自2008年起，霍森一直担任Thomastik-Infeld艺术家，并长期使用该公司出品的精选琴弦。
2019年，马里奥·霍森启动了录制尼科洛·帕格尼尼弦乐四重奏及其他室内乐作品全集的项目。为此，他创立了维也纳帕格尼尼乐团（Paganini Ensemble Vienna），专注于演绎和推广帕格尼尼的室内乐作品。他也是维也纳帕格尼尼爱乐乐团（Paganini Philharmonie Wien）的创始人。
2024年，维也纳帕格尼尼乐团被任命为"欧洲帕格尼尼之路"（European Paganini Route）文化大使。该项目是由热那亚市发起的欧洲文化倡议，马里奥·霍森同时担任其理事会成员。自2026年5月起，"欧洲帕格尼尼之路"正式获得欧洲委员会"文化线路"认证。鉴于他在保护和推广帕格尼尼音乐遗产方面作出的杰出贡献，马里奥·霍森还被授予热那亚"帕格尼尼之友"协会（Amici di Paganini）荣誉会员称号。
马里奥·霍森使用一把由乔瓦尼·巴蒂斯塔·瓜达尼尼（Giovanni Battista Guadagnini）于1749年制作的小提琴，该琴由奥地利国家银行慷慨提供使用。
“The playing of Mario Hossen is fabulous! ... In the interpretations recorded here by Mario Hossen, based on his research into Paganini’s manuscripts, we can hear for the first time since Paganini’s era the music as it was originally written.”
“Le Streghe in original interpretation — the first recording since the time of Paganini — impressive performance of the violinist Mario Hossen... fine sound, humor and sarcasm... Mario Hossen’s programs deserves to reach a wide audience.”
“Hossen proves to be an incisive advocate of Paganini’s style... He produces a tone slicing as cleanly as a surgical knife from the upper registers of the 1749 Giovanni Battista Guadagnini upon which he plays, and ingratiating warmth from the lower registers.”
“Hossen has the right approach to these demanding pages. The technical difficulties are overcome with aplomb but at the same time they don’t want to flaunt only virtuosity... there is always a lyricism and even, in some cases, a melancholic poetry.”
“Mario Hossen, excellent soloist of Niccolò Paganini’s Second Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, a touchstone for every instrumentalist. His confidence and display of virtuosity were luminous virtues throughout... His interpretive class dazzled the respectable on a night in which the English Chamber Orchestra demonstrated its magnificent level.”
“In their expert hands, the music radiates elegance, tonal beauty, a lightness of touch, and, where appropriate, humor. This is an ensemble that plays with a compelling unity of vision...”
Flagship Project · Through 2032
A career built around Niccolò Paganini now carries forward as a single, continent-wide project through 2032 — Paganini 200: a multi-season initiative anchored between Vienna and Genova, marking, over the coming seasons, the 200th anniversary of the tour that made Paganini Europe's first musical superstar.
