Past engagements include work with Kentucky Opera, Cedar Rapids Opera, and the innovative Fresco Opera, and she is featured as Young Anne/#1 on the recently released world-premiere recording of Conrad Susa’s “Transformations.” She enjoys frequent collaboration with living composers, including the Midwest premiere of Laura Schwendinger’s “Kay Ryan Songs” and the world premiere of “Dangerous New Avenues,” a duet for soprano and percussion by Justin Giarrusso.
