She has recently performed in and organized recitals in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and her home state of Maryland. In addition, she has served as staff pianist for Lied Austria International, a month-long summer program in Austria that focused on intense study of German art song and poetry. During the academic year, Stefanie can be found at The College of New Jersey performing as a staff pianist, working as a musical director for the Lyric Theatre program, and teaching group keyboard classes to non-music majors.

She is on the administrative staff and participates in the Bennington Chamber Music Conference, among other chamber music collaborations. An in-demand choral pianist, Stefanie performs with state and regional honor choruses in New Jersey, school choirs of every age, and is a pianist with the Princeton Girlchoir’s Quarter Notes and Ensemble choirs. She has served as a rehearsal pianist for the Princeton Festival’s opera productions and for Manhattan Concert Productions’ Carnegie Hall performance of Robert Schumann’s Requiem, Op. 148, under Dr. Heather Mitchell’s baton.
