She led the Woods Hole Cantata Consort for eleven years and has been a conducting fellow at the Oregon Bach Festival, Aspen Music Festival, and Conductor's Institute at Bard College. Her repertory encompasses over fifty sacred cantatas, oratorios and masses by Bach.

She has presented lectures at Lincoln Center, the Robert Shaw Choral Institute, the International Baroque Institute at the Longy School, Yale's Institute of Sacred Music, and the national convention of the American Choral Directors Association. A graduate of Yale and Harvard, her publications include "From the House of Aaron to the House of Johann Sebastian: Old Testament Roots for the Bach Family Tree" (2008), "Embracing Faith: The Duet as Metaphor in Selected Sacred Cantatas by J. S. Bach" (2003), and a study of nineteenth-century performances of Bach's music in New York City (2003).
