An active concert singer, she returned to solos in Carmina Burana, Bach’s Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, and Handel’s Messiah, with organizations including the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra and Bach Collegium San Diego. She also rejoined Chicago’s Music of the Baroque as Pales in Bach’s “Hunt Cantata” and Aricie/La chasseresse (Hippolyte et Aricie, excerpts). Prior to Covid-19, she was scheduled to sing Jeannie in the modern premiere Philidor’s The Blacksmith with Opera Lafayette, as well as to make her role and company debuts with Salt Marsh Opera as Clorinda (La Cenerentola) and with Des Moines Metro Opera as L’Amour/La Folie (cover) in Rameau’s Platée.

The 2019 CCO Guild Sponsored Artist, she was also awarded the company’s Apprentice Artist Award in 2019 and its prestigious Central City Opera Young Artist Award in 2018. Other highlights of the 2018/19 season include her work with Chicago Opera Theatre, covering Brigitta (Iolanta) and Doodle (The Scarlet Ibis), and solos in Handel’s Dixit Dominus and The Fairy Queen (excerpts) with Music of the Baroque.
