Her performances at Carnegie Hall, Mechanics Hall, and on the famed Myra Hess series in Chicago (broadcast live on WFMT), have brought her to the attention of critics, who have extolled her as a "wonderful pianist" (New York Concert Review), and one with "tender regard for the music, a captivating inwardness" (Fanfare Magazine), among other praise.
