Recently, she has performed with the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra, American Bach Soloists (San Francisco), Tafelmusik (Toronto), Tempesta di Mare (Philadelphia), and the Washington Bach Consort.

An experienced chamber musician as well, she spent the summer of 2003 performing with her husband, pianist-composer Roberto Pace, in Italy at the festival Incontri di Canna, and each summer looks forward to performing and teaching in Maine at the SummerKeys festival. She has also been selected twice for a fellowship at the Hampden-Sydney Chamber Music Festival in Virginia.
