As a soloist, she has performed concerti with orchestras and ensembles in Ohio, Michigan, Arizona, Minnesota, and Iowa, most recently performing with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. As a collaborative pianist, she has performed with such notables as Henry Charles Smith, Eric Ruske, Tom Bacon, Dan Perantoni,  Jean Rife, Denis Brott, Phillipa Davies, and Georgina Dobree, and has toured for Affiliate Artists of New York. Guest appearances have included Russia, A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor, and several International Festivals in Brazil and Ecuador. She can be heard on six compact disc recordings produced by Vienna Modern Masters, Albany, Capstone, and Mark Records. Her latest release was with Trio Ariana, a soprano-viola-piano ensemble with which she tours regularly; a new release with soprano colleague Jean McDonald will occur shortly.
