A lead article on her rediscovery of the symphonies of Joseph Camerloher was published in Musik in Bayern: Halbjahresschrift der Gesellschaft fÙr Bayerische Musikgeschichte. A chapter on Joseph Camerloher and Placidus von Camerloher will appear later this year in The Symphonic Repertoire, Volume I: The Eighteenth-Century Symphony. Currently treasurer of the Mozart Society of America, she has served on the board of The Society for Eighteenth-Century Music and was chair of the Fourth Biennial Meeting held at St. Francis College in 2010.
